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.
