Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Inter-protocol exploitation is a security vulnerability that takes advantage of interactions between two communication protocols, for example the protocols used in the Internet. Under this name, it was popularized in 2007 and publicly described in research of the same year. The general class of attacks that it refers to has been known since at least 1994 (see the Security Considerations section of RFC 1738). Internet protocol implementations allow for the possibility of encapsulating exploit code to compromise a remote program which uses a different protocol. Inter-protocol exploitation is where one protocol attacks a service running a different protocol. This is a legacy problem because the specifications of the protocols did not take into consideration an attack of this type.
