Solution for TCP timestamp response in VAPT report

975148Nov 3 2014 — edited Nov 4 2014

There was a vulnerability test run on our developmental server having Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.11 (Tikanga) as the OS. There is one among others of concern here; it is to do with TCP timestamp response. The solution suggested is:

Set the value of net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps to 0 by running the following command:

sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps=0

I did not find the parameter net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps when I did sysctl –a.

Please suggest how to go about it.

Please revert with the reply to my query.

Regards
