How would the spoofing program, or its user, be able to tell if
it was successful? Unless I'm very confused, the definition of
spoofing is that the return packets aren't going to come back to you.
I can imagine a packet format where the real source address was in the
data, but with no authentication this would itself be subject to abuse.
You'd need a little protocol:
Volunteer Server
real-source-->server
<--back to real source with ip to fake, cookie
fake-source-->server with cookie
<--back to real source with result as a courtesy
Doing this from behind a NAT would be difficult.
