My question is pretty blunt, I see all these programs tha spoof your IP, How do these programs work? What type of services have to be run? Do you have to use a program to spoof your IP.

I could only think of one way and that is to login to as many different shell accounts as you could.And then using a shell account to hide your Ip.But this would not be un traceable.

I was hoping for input on a mannually way to learn the techniques of how one might spoof an IP.

I am using a windows XP pro, with a dial up connection. I would use linux if my modem would work for it but I can't so.

Any information would be useful.

P.S.
How do you guys get those cool little pics,or icons after your name when you post a reply or thread.
lol.
