From 6df716340da3a6fdd33d73d7ed4c6f7590ca1c42 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephen Hemminger Date: Thu, 3 Nov 2005 16:33:23 -0800 Subject: [TCP/DCCP]: Randomize port selection This patch randomizes the port selected on bind() for connections to help with possible security attacks. It should also be faster in most cases because there is no need for a global lock.
