Abstract--A connection-chain is a set of connections created
by sequentially logging into a series of hosts, known as stepping-
stones. It provides an effective scheme for attackers to manually
interact with a victim machine without disclosing their true
origin. The victim will only identify the last host in the chain,
while the true origin is hidden behind a series of stepping-stones.
