Description

In the report, we see this section:

Network Settings:

TCPMaxDataRetransmissions: Default is 5
Initial RTO: 1000
Max SYN Retransmissions: 4
TCPChimney:
RSS: enabled
TCPA:
Min Ephemeral Port: 49152
Max Ephemeral Port: 65535
TCP Timed Wait Delay:
Syn Attack Protect:

If we are checking registry keys that either don't exist or aren't set, we should be filling in default OS values. If we're checking the wrong things, we should update this to make sure the data is pulled in. (TCPChimney, TCPA, TCP Timed Wait Delay, and Syn Attack Protect)

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by locating the code that generates the report's Network Settings section and compare its registry lookups with the listed Windows defaults. Done means TCPMaxDataRetransmissions, TCPChimney, TCPA, TCP Timed Wait Delay, and Syn Attack Protect report correct values when keys are absent or unset.
