Let's imagine in Net a hacker having his source server(S), destination

echo request packet containing IP source address of D, and the data in

When V receiving that packet, it sends ICMP echo-reply packet to D, AND
FORWARDS TO D ALL DATA IN PAYLOAD!

This could also be used by peer-to-peer networks to achieve sender
anonymity. (Of course you could also directly send UDP packets with forged
source addresses...)

How does this give anonymity?  When sending to the server, I must
use the servers address as a source address.  When the server replies
to me, it must use my address as a source address.  Maybe the two
addresses dont appear in the same packet at the same time, but they're
there.  This might fool a few people when used a few times, but it
will hardly fool everyone when it is in widespread use.
