This is a PoC demonstrating techniques exploiting CVE-2016-5696 Off-Path TCP Exploits: Global Rate Limit Considered Dangerous by Yue Cao, Zhiyun Qian, Zhongjie Wang, Tuan Dao, Srikanth V. Krishnamurthy, Lisa M. Marvel presented at USENIX 25th Security Symposium.

This is not a complete implementation of the traffic injection attack. Its merely an implementation up to the inference of the current clients sequence number window. Due to the timing dependend nature it may need additional tuning depening on the host to properly function.
