The idea of ISP blocking spoofed IP's

  • DNS Benchmark v2 Release 5 with Consultant License
    Guest:
    If you own any earlier release of our DNS Benchmark you may immediately download its release #5 replacement. Running an earlier release will detect the new release and help you upgrade.

    Although this release is cosmetic, appearance matters and affects ease of use. The biggest change, as seen in the image above, is that the DNS Benchmark now has a traditional Windows application menu to more fully expose its many features. This release is also "Consultant License Aware" and GRC will now issue a Consultant version when owners have previously purchased four "Personal Use" licenses. If you have previously purchased four DNSB licenses, or if you wish to upgrade your "Personal Use" license to Consultant, GRC's purchase process will direct you through that process.

  • BootAble – FreeDOS boot testing freeware

    To obtain direct, low-level access to a system's mass storage drives, SpinRite runs under a GRC-customized version of FreeDOS which has been modified to add compatibility with all file systems. In order to run SpinRite it must first be possible to boot FreeDOS.

    GRC's “BootAble” freeware allows anyone to easily create BIOS-bootable media in order to workout and confirm the details of getting a machine to boot FreeDOS through a BIOS. Once the means of doing that has been determined, the media created by SpinRite can be booted and run in the same way.

    The participants here, who have taken the time to share their knowledge and experience, their successes and some frustrations with booting their computers into FreeDOS, have created a valuable knowledgebase which will benefit everyone who follows.

    You may click on the image to the right to obtain your own copy of BootAble. Then use the knowledge and experience documented here to boot your computer(s) into FreeDOS. And please do not hesitate to ask questions – nowhere else can better answers be found.

The idea seems sound but just one problem and I think ISP know too and the bad way they are dealing with it. I posted about ISP doing NAT when some of us want are WAN IP.

So like I'm with virgin media with lets say a IP of 92.239.64.2 If some how I was to send from the same MAC source IP 4.79.142.200 to target thats what you want to block but nothing is stopping attackers from using other IP in the same subnet like 92.239.64.222 and to a ISP that would look valid but really coming from 92.239.64.2.

So how do you deal with that? Well ISP taking the dirty way out by them doing NAT that stops spoofing the real solution is DAI (Dynamic ARP Inspection) on the modem but it seems ISP want the cheapest way out and so NAT...doubt NAT..I hate.
 
Better would be for them to block any outgoing requests that come from an internal IP, but the IP in the packet as source is not in the ISP assigned range. That would stop a lot of spoofing and DDos attacks, as the ISP will be able to track the sudden flood of traffic to a single sourceand be able to see if it is maware, and either notify the souce clients or rate limit the requests before passing them out.
