Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to reset a TCP connection such as in response to a security policy violation. To address reset conditions under RFC 5961, for example, TCP RST segments may be spoofed and injected into communications between endpoints (e.g. client and server). In one example, three segments may be spoofed with two having respective predicted sequence numbers to invoke a reset and the third having a sequence number to invoke a challenge ACK. If a challenge ACK is received, one or more additional TCP RST segments may be injected using segment information from the challenge ACK to predict new sequence numbers, one to invoke a reset and the other, if used, to invoke a further challenge ACK. Further responsive pairs of additional TCP RST segments may be sent in response to any further challenge ACK observed until the reset is successful.
