This is true, but if it is a valid host, the invalid SYNs will do nothing, because the source host will send a RST and the almost-connection will be torn down. And if it isn't a valid host, it will still be _much_ easier to track, because you know in general where it's coming from.
There are far, far meaner things you can do with a pair of valid hosts, Alec. And no, I don't particularly care to get in to all of them. Perry - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
