John, What would be the point of spoofing the source IPs to be identical? You're just making the attack trivial to block. Plus you could never do any kind of TCP session attack, since you can't complete a handshake. I would have to call this sort of attack a LAAADDoS (Lame Attempt At A DDoS).

But SYN floods are easily detected and deflected by all modern firewalls. If a handshake doesn’t complete within a certain time interval, the SYN is discarded. Many DDOS attacks are full-fledged TCP sessions. The zombies are used to simulate legitimate users, and because they’re coming from

Not to be difficult, but how can it be a DDoS attack if it’s coming from a single IP? Normally you would just block this IP at your borders or ask your upstreams to do so before it consumes your bandwidth. You still want to get GoDaddy to address the problem, of course, but you should do that
