How do I report the hacker to my ISP?
I'm seeing lots of attacks, is this normal?
Summary

This may indicate an unsuccessful attempt to hijack a TCP connection. A TCP sequence number is out of the expected range in a FIN or RST packet.

Details

A hacker will send this frame to cause an intrusion detection system (IDS) to become unsynchronized with the data in a connection. Subsequent frames sent in that connection may then be ignored by the IDS.
