I had a customer buy an $800 "firewall" box based on the salesman's
representation that NAT devices like STN are not secure because an
intruder can spoof an internal IP address. I asked him if he knew the
difference between a used car salesman and a computer salesman. (There
are two answers: 1. The used car salesman knows when he's lieing. 2.
About 2 weeks.).
Is there any conceivable way this could be done?
