Whether ISPs provide path of Spoofed SYN Flood attack is the only way to trace the attack source?

The attacker spoofs SYN packets to attack a server.

In this document:

Spoofed Attack: A malicious user can also spoof the IP address on each SYN packet they send in order to inhibit mitigation efforts and make their identity more di… Continue reading Whether ISPs provide path of Spoofed SYN Flood attack is the only way to trace the attack source?
