 Still won't work. You can attack people with it, but when your source IP
 header in TCP/IP packet is forged, the receiving end will reply to the
 forged address, in which physically does not exist. Therefore a
 complete connection will not be made in such a case. (Although the ingress
 filter will not notice that since the IP you are spoofing to is within the
 existing LAN subnet.)
