It's how connection is established. UDP is fire and forget and therefore attacker can spoof IP address in UDP packets without any problem. TCP is different. TCP establish connection through something that is called "three-was hand shake". Therefore it is much harder (but not entirely impossible) to spoof IP address in TCP packets Take a look RFC here: http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc793.html http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc768.html You should probably read some network book e.g. Network Security Architectures -----Original Message----- From: listbounce () securityfocus com [mailto:listbounce () securityfocus com] On Behalf Of paavan.shah () gmail com Sent: 10. srpanj 2007 4:11 To: security-basics () securityfocus com Subject: Why TCP is more secure than UDP? It is said that UDP is considered more vulnerable to spoofing than TCP? Can anyone point me to any document/link which describes TCP is more secure than UDP
