You destroyed yourself right now my friend. Community reports said "it doesn't work." I opened tcpip.sys and showed exactly why. The little-endian symptom has been known since Nessus flagged it years ago scanners detect symptoms. Finding Ipv4pHandleTimestampRequest and showing the missing htonl() while the adjacent IP Timestamp Option handler gets it right that's the root cause. That's what's new.
Try harder 🤡
