+Causes confusion on the other end by doing odd things with incoming packets. +CHAOS will randomly reply (or not) with one of its configurable subtargets: +.TP +\fB--delude\fR +Use the REJECT and DELUDE targets as a base to do a sudden or deferred +connection reset, fooling some network scanners to return non-deterministic +(randomly open/closed) results, and in case it is deemed open, it is actually +closed/filtered. +.TP +\fB--tarpit\fR +Use the REJECT and TARPIT target as a base to hold the connection until it +times out. This consumes conntrack entries when connection tracking is loaded +(which usually is on most machines), and routers inbetween you and the Internet +may fail to do their connection tracking if they have to handle more +connections than they can. +.PP +The randomness factor of not replying vs. replying can be set during load-time +of the xt_CHAOS module or during runtime in /sys/modules/xt_CHAOS/parameters.
