hey long time ago i read in a book that computer forensic experts do have
techniques to boil out the client ip out of proxy coz proxies were made with
intention of NOT hiding client ip ...so proxies aren't secure from expert systems if u wish anonymity
But for those hackers sake herez the world called university internet...as most university offers free wifi internet that work on proxies ...and many restros, airports..kiosks etc implement such wified proxy u cud hack n run kinda stuff to stay low!
Well for basic not so intensive server scripts ..proxies are a headache...to
seperate the good from the bad ...may be evil will be of some help some day!!
haha!

IP Spoofing: An Introduction

Ya i agree...Its IP Spoofing....
In IP spoofing, an attacker gains unauthorized access to a computer or a network by making it appear that a malicious message has come from a trusted machine by “spoofing” the IP address of that machine....its also used in DoS attacks...

please forgive me, but I need some help here. (I can't even find the new thread post on the page that my web search brought me to...)

Several emails dissing my employer have supposedly been traced to my home computer by IDing IP addresses.
I did NOT send them
How is this possible?

Thank you -
Sandy

@Sandy R
There are many possibilities...
1. May be your mail id and password or your system might have been hacked.....

2. There may be possibility that other person might have spoofed your IP address....so that at destination during verification your IP address is noticed.

My doubt is how can a hacker can come to know about email ID of your employer... i think 1st possibility might have happened
