Re: Spoofing an IP over the internet

Unfortunately life is not so straightforward: a lot of legitimate users
can have single IP due to proxies.

Yes, but the problem that I fear is a hacker changing his IP address automatically for each TCP/IP packets sents without the need of disconnecting/reconnecting.

Also if the IP could be spoofed, it would be difficult to find where the attack is comming from or we would need other means of understanding where the attack is comming from.

Thanks,
