The defence against ICT attacks requires detection of probes as early as possible. The earlier an attack is discovered, the more time defenders of systems have to take appropriate counter-measures. This article discusses a stealth tracing technique called Subliminal Traceroute and the development of a software tool that implements this technique. The tool offers detection features, as well as a counter-intelligence feature which tries to pin-point the attacker.
