I'm putting together a "NFSv3 is disgustingly insecure, we should move
to OpenAFS" type presentation for my management [1]. I've found
explanations to be less than completely understood, so I've decided to
put together a demo.

I've already found nfsshell [2], a commonly available user-level
program that among other things allows creation of NFS requests as any
other user on a system.

The most useful article I found on the subject [3] also mentions that
"UDP is also trivial to spoof, making it easy to get around the
host-based access control, which relies on the IP address of the
client." Does anyone know of code that would demo this vulnerability?

[1] NFSv4 isn't an option due to platform support requirements.
