IP spoofing allows attackers to hide their true source IP address, making it harder to trace the attack and block it at the source. This is particularly problematic in reflected DDoS attacks where the attacker sends spoofed SNMP GetBulk requests to an intermediary device, causing it to send the responses to the victim. Spoofing further complicates the mitigation process, requiring more sophisticated techniques such as ingress filtering and anti-spoofing measures.
