IP Spoofing is analogous to an attacker sending a package to someone with the wrong return address listed. If the packet has been spoofed, the source address will be forged. In a normal packet, the source IP address is the address of the sender of the packet. All IP packets contain a header which precedes the body of the packet and contains important routing information, including the source address. Sending and receiving IP packets is a primary way in which networked computers and other devices communicate, and constitutes the basis of the modern internet. It is a technique often used by bad actors to invoke DDoS attacks against a target device or the surrounding infrastructure. IP spoofing is the creation of Internet Protocol (IP) packets which have a modified source address in order to either hide the identity of the sender, to impersonate another computer system, or both.
