The use of packets with a false source IP address is not always evidence of malicious intent. For example, in performance testing of websites, hundreds or even thousands of "vusers" (virtual users) may be created, each executing a test script against the website under test, in order to simulate what will happen when the system goes "live" and a large number of users log in simultaneously.
In Linux terminology, a Martian packet is an IP packet received by the kernel on a specific interface, while routing tables indicate that the source IP is expected on another interface. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] The name is derived from packet from Mars , meaning that packet seems to be not of this Earth.

Your IP address will appear as the server's IP address, hiding your real IP. Use a Proxy Server: A proxy server acts as an intermediary between your device and the internet. It forwards your ...
A packet generator or packet builder is a type of software that generates random packets or allows the user to construct detailed custom packets. Depending on the network medium and operating system, packet generators utilize raw sockets , NDIS function calls, or direct access to the network adapter kernel-mode driver .
IP addresses in the bogon space may cease to be bogons because IANA frequently assigns new address. Announcements of new assignments are often published on network operators' mailing lists (such as NANOG ) to ensure that bogon filtering can be removed for addresses that have become legitimate.
Unix-like operating systems commonly implement IP address blocking using a TCP wrapper, configured by host access control files /etc/hosts.deny and /etc/hosts.allow.. Both companies and schools offering remote user access use Linux programs such as DenyHosts or Fail2ban for protection from unauthorized access while allowing permitted remote access.
Random number generation in kernel space was implemented for the first time for Linux [2] in 1994 by Theodore Ts'o. [6] The implementation used secure hashes rather than ciphers, [clarification needed] to avoid cryptography export restrictions that were in place when the generator was originally designed.
