LINUX.COM: AN OVERVIEW OF TCP AND IP SPOOFING

"A spoofing attack involves forging one's source IP address. It
is the act of using one machine to impersonate another. Most of
the applications and tools in Unix systems, including Linux, rely
on source IP address authentication, and many developers have
used host-based access controls to secure their networks. The
source IP address is a unique identifier, but it is not a
reliable one."
