Hi,

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). :)

perhaps spoofing an IP that cannot be blocked as its one that needs to be allowed for the site IT to operate? some
cloud service IP or such.... ?
