Plus the fact that Rick specializes in sockets/packets in his Comp Science carrear, and even if I'm wrong that it's his specialty, he has a pretty damn good understanding of them.

I'd imangine the term "pretty damn good" is still an understatement ::thumbs up to rick::
To put it simply mr Zell, think of the TCP connection as a physical pipe running from one tank to another. If you sent a request with a spoofed ip saying HEY GIVE ME A PIPE, its going to think said address requested it, and try to make the connection with that address, instead of you. Even if it was a successful connection, you would be outside that pipe.
unless you actually owned an ip with the needed range or proxied it (ie found some server with that range willing to route your packets), it IS impossible.
And in my opinion, anyone who pays for a server and puts it at such a stupid risk by letting a lvl 4 rc be owned without the password/ip being really protected is a fool, and it would be a tough lesson that they need. Its not graalonlines responisbly to make up for your lack of responsibility.
