Section .8.4 says:

   The attacker is:

   o  Four hops away from A.

   o  Four hops away from B.

   o  Four hops away from C.

   o  Four hops away from D.

   In the network setup of Figure 3, the only system that satisfies all
   these conditions is the one marked as the "F".

It should say:

   The attacker is:

   o  Four hops away from A.

   o  Four hops away from B.

   o  Four hops away from C.

   o  Three hops away from D.

   In the network setup of Figure 6, the only system that satisfies all
   these conditions is the one marked as the "F".

Notes:

Since the packets that D gets has a TTL of 62 while A,B and C gets packets with TTL of 61, it should be that D is one less hop away than the others. This also seems to be illustrated in Figure 6.

Text that seems to refer to the network setup of Figure 6 references to incorrect figure number 3.
