The only thing that isn't currently easy to do is TCP full connection
payload injection from spoofed IP's.  We're working on a way to do
that though :).

I know it's bad form to follow up on your own post...  What I was
talking about in the last email was a way to actually introduce the TCP
3-way handshake (connection) payload stimulous to the remote IP from a
spoofed source.  This is currently difficult on modern stacks.

However, many IPS/IDS's don't keep track of state, and you can actually
get the PSH/ACK TCP payload to trigger many IPS's from spoofed sources
now. By skipping the 3-way-handshake, the remote IP will obviously not
treat it as part of an established connection, but if IPS trigger DoS
was your goal, who cares.
