I understand that IP packets can be spoofed ie change the source address to make it look like they originated from the internal LAN. However, when this is done across the internet, with a private IP address in its source field, how does this packet get routed through the internet? Kind Regards
It doesn't, private IP addresses aren't routed, when the local packet hits the edge of your local LAN and exists via a router for example it will be NAT'ed and/or PAT'ed so it won't have the local address as the source IP otherwise how would the response ever get back to the source?
