what exactly was the question?
You answered it mostly-- what do people see in the real world-- plain jane
unadulterated packets, or spoofed / manipulated ones. Of all the attacks I
have suffered through, they all seemed to be from legit IP addresses save
one and that was some time ago. However, except for 2 people in about 4
years, I have never gotten a response from various NOC/Abuse desks as to
whether or not the attacking IPs I identified were in fact part of the
attack or were spoofed.
However, in the cases where I had customer PCs participating in attacks,
there seems to be a higher percentage of random source addresses (which get
dropped before they leave my network). Have that many networks implemented
RPF as to make spoofed addresses moot ?
