If anyone from Linode admin team would like some help analyzing the attack/friendly advice on mitigations, please contact me (or anyone else at CloudFlare); we see a lot of these.
- imoff 11y agoHow do you guys trace the real packet sender of a packet with a spoofed IP address?

But for anything but a huge attack which lasted for weeks/months, that would be inefficient use of resources. Paul Vixie is really at the forefront of pushing for providers to solve this problem. Until that happens (and they've tried for a decade), it will remain technically difficult/impossible, so you need to use other solutions to mitigate attacks.
