hy

its just my opinion, in this days, i think is more importante, to know, what
type of atack we are receiving, and not locate the source ip...

this source ip, could be anything...

Citando Simon :

Unfortunately life is not so straightforward: a lot of legitimate
users
can have single IP due to proxies.

Yes, but the problem that I fear is a hacker changing his IP address
automatically for each TCP/IP packets sents without the need of
disconnecting/reconnecting.

Also if the IP could be spoofed, it would be difficult to find where
the
attack
is comming from or we would need other means of understanding where
the attack
is comming from.

Thanks,
Simon
