Re: IP Spoofing

I think you did not understand what I wrote.

The OP asked if one can spoof the IP address while requesting a document.
Jerry says (correctly) that it would not be possible to get the answer. That might imply that is IS possible to make a request, but the answer goes nowhere. That would be enough if the purpose of the request was e.g. to delete a database by SQL injection. The answer is unimportant.

What I said was that I think it is not even possible to make a request (regardless where the answer would go), because that would require a connection which cannot be established with a spoofed IP.


Actually, you probably could send out a request from a faked IP address with the correct hacker tools. But it would have to be short (everything would have to fit in 7 packets). But it would depend on an ISP which would accept the spoofed IP address. Correctly configured, they shouldn't. But we also know how *everyone* has *everything* correctly configured, don't we :-)
