Talk:Evil bit

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I thought "evil bit" could also refer to the phenomenon in campy science fiction, in which an AI could turn from good to evil at the flip of a switch. --π! 21:22, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Possible use for the field?

Wouldn't it be possible for intrusion detection software running on an Internet-facing firewall to use this field to indicate, on a local network, whether the packet is likely part of a possible intrusion? Has such a proposal been reported in a reliable source? --Damian Yerrick (☎) 18:25, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
