Im not sure im being clear here. How does the packet get to the firewall in the first place when it has a source address of a machine within the firewall perimeter? internet--------------firewall(router)--------------lan from the internet....how does the packet get to the firewall when it has the lan ip addresses (ie private addresses)? Or am i failing to understand how this attack works? On 9/9/09, Sebastiaan <littlebighuman () gmail com> wrote:
It usually doesn't. Most firewalls will drop this by default as will many routers.

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?
