    IP addresses are never untracable... if they are not returning a domain name, that's no problem at all... you can still find out who owns the address with the proper tools... whois is the first that comes to mind... in a short one can
    simply plug the IP into uncle google's search and find all kinds of data about it...



    I assume they can spoof IP addresses as well as phone numbers? Never thought of using Google for that though.



    ... Death, when unnecessary, is a tragic thing.

    they can use a proxy. still, you can block that ip or a range of ip ranges and that helps.

    TCP connections cannot spoof IPs and work... the connection has to be solid... there's a three-way handshake to set this up... UDP connections, on the other hand, are stateless and can have spoofed IPs... the difference here is that there's no such thing as a UDP telnet or ssh or rlogin or similar connection...
    they cannot be spoofed...
