Blind Spoofing Attack

Blind Spoofing Attack is a type of attack using IP spoofing. This attack may take place from outside where sequence and acknowledgement numbers are unreachable. Attackers usually send several packets to the target machine in order to figure out sequence numbers, which is easy to do in older days. Since most OSs implement random sequence number generation today, it becomes more difficult to predict the sequence number accurately. If, however, the sequence number was compromised, data could be sent to the target.
