Analyzing TCP SYN segments from NETSCOUT honeypots reveals patterns and anomalies in network traffic that can indicate potential threats. Despite expectations, there was no evidence of source address spoofing, and variations in IPv4 TTL values suggest the presence of diverse source origins. The study emphasizes the importance of TCP header analysis for enhancing network security without needing to examine payload data.
