Out of Order
Medium 30 ptsA single HTTP response carrying a small text file. Every byte arrived — but the network delivered the segments out of order, and one arrived twice. Read the packets in the order they appear and you get a plausible, wrong answer. The stream is not the wire.
Hints
Open them in order. They nudge, they do not solve.
Hint 1
Do not read the payloads packet by packet down the list — that is the trap.
Hint 2
Follow → TCP Stream reassembles by sequence number, which is the whole point of sequence numbers.
Hint 3
If your answer has the right characters in the wrong arrangement, you read the wire instead of the stream.
The capture
Forged on this server. Open it in Wireshark, or run
tshark -r reasm.pcap.
