IP has no authentication mechanism.  That means there is no way to
determine who sent a packet, other than looking at the source IP field.

If a hacker is able to craft a packet closely enough, then you will have
no choice but to believe that it is genuine.  If a hacker can snoop all
of your packets like that, then you have lost.
