TCP spoofing

TCP spoofing is used to conduct SYN flooding.

Usually people think that it's possible to use TCP spoofing to hide the packet source, while creating a full running TCP connections, but to their dismay it's not the way.

 

Suppose computer A sends a spoofed packet to Computer B (SYN packet), computer B replys with SYN+ACK (if it listens on that port), but it will send it to the spoofed address.

Computer A will never receive that packet.

 

If you want to masquerade your IP the best ways are to use a proxy or a TCP relay.
