> Scanners report SSVM responded with a TCP timestamp and that “the TCP timestamp response can be used to approximate the remote host's uptime, potentially aiding in further attacks. Additionally, some operating systems can be fingerprinted based on the behavior of their TCP timestamps.”  The fix is straightforward:
> Set the value of net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps to 0 by running the following command:
> sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps=0
> Additionally, put the following value in the default sysctl configuration file, generally sysctl.conf:
> net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps=0
