Anti-Spoofing

WinRoute provides anti-spoofing capabilities, which prevents packets with invalid source addresses from originating within a network. Anti-spoofing could have prevented the ICMP smurf attacks reported in February 2000 with the distributed denial of service attacks on such major Web sites as Yahoo and Buy.com. WinRoute users can rest comfortably knowing that their networks are unlikely sources of such attacks if they implement this feature.
