Despoof is a Unix/Linux tool specifically built to detect IP spoofing by analyzing the source addresses of incoming packets and cross-referencing them against routing table information, triggering an alert when a packet's source address is inconsistent with known network routes. Running as root on Linux gives it the necessary privileges to inspect raw network packets for spoofed address anomalies.

Dsniff is a suite of network auditing and password-sniffing tools designed to capture credentials from network traffic, and it does not provide alerting functionality for detecting spoofed IP addresses.

Ethereal (the predecessor to Wireshark) is a passive packet capture and protocol analysis tool that displays raw traffic details but does not generate automated alerts for IP address spoofing detection.

Neotrace is a visual traceroute utility that maps the network path between two hosts, and it has no capability to monitor for or alert on IP spoofing activity.
