I wouldn't say "no way of determining". Check out http://www.riverhead.com/ Through the use of baselines and complicated algorithms you can scrub at least some of that traffic. -----Original Message----- From: Faisal Khan [mailto:faisal@netxs.com.pk] Sent: Friday, January 14, 2005 1:06 AM To: pen-test@securityfocus.com Subject: DoS/DDoS Attack Folks, Two quick questions. When IP (Source) addresses are spoofed, is there no way of determining (a) that the IP Source Addresses is spoofed and not the genuine one (b) to be able to determine the actual IP address that is sending DoS packets? Somehow I get the feeling I'm SOL when trying to find out the "genuine/actual" source IP address. If this is the case, then pretty much we all are helpless with DoS/DDoS attacks - considering one can write a script/program to keep incrementing or randomly assigning spoofed source addresses in the DoS packets being sent out.
