I would love to hear about results running this exploit/PoC/whatever 
against a xBSD TCP/IP stack.

Microsoft Windows TCP/IP stack looks so BSDish to me since Windows Vista.

But that's probably because they "rewrote" it completely at that 
time (with integration of their "new" IPv6 stack also).

Joke: "Chuck Norris can exploit sockets that aren't even listening."
