Yes, my server would then respond with RST.

We've blocked outgoing RST, 136.244.67.19 was our test server.

But even if the ip is not even exposed to the internet, services will blacklist 
us. Even if we don't respond, and block every request from the internet 
incoming & outgoing.

But you do receive the SYN/ACK?
The way to open a TCP socket is the 3 way handshake. Sorry to write that 
here... I feel it's useless.
1. SYN
2. SYN/ACK
3. ACK

Step 1: So hackers spoof the original SYN with your source IP of your network.

Step 2: You should then receive those SYN/ACK packets with your network as the 
dst ip and SONY as the src ip. Can you catch a few and post the TCP flags that 
you see please? (This is step 2)
You don't need sony or imperva for that. Just a sniffer at the right place in 
your network. You won't block anything, but we should see something very 
interesting that will help you fix this.

If it is happening like you are describing, you should see those packets and 
you should be able to capture them.

No worries if you can't.

I have tried numerous of times to reach out to Imperva.

Imperva said Sony have to contact them & said they cannot help me because I am 
not a customer of theirs.
Something Sony will not do. Sony simply stopped responding my emails after some 
time.

But yes you are right.

My IP's are being spoofed, spoofing SYN requests to hundreds of thousands of 
web servers. Which then results in a blacklist, that Imperva uses.. which 
prevents me and my clients from accessing Sony's services.. because they use 
Imperva.

Trying to summarize here, this convo has been a bit disjointed.

Is this an accurate summary?

- The malicious traffic with spoofed sources is targeting multiple different 
destinations.
- The aggregate of all those flows is causing Impervia to flag your IP range as 
a bad actor.
- Sony uses Impervia blacklists, and since Impervia has flagged your space as 
bad, Sony is blocking you.

If that is true, my advice would be to go right to Impervia. Explain the 
situation, and ask for their assistance in identifying and or/reaching out to 
the networks that they are detecting this spoofed traffic coming from. The 
backscatter, as Jared said earlier, could probably help you a bit too, but 
Impervia should be willing to assist. It's in their best interests to not have 
false positives, but who knows.

The problem is that they are spoofing our IP, to millions of IP's running port 
80.
Making upstream providers filter it is quite difficult, i don't know all the 
upstream providers are used.

The main problem is honestly services that reports SYN_RECV as Port Flood, but 
there isn't much one can do about misconfigured firewalls.I am sure there is a 
decent amount of honeypots on the internet acting the same way, resulting us 
(the victims of the attack) getting blacklisted for 'sending' attacks.

And even if his network weren't on the receiving end of a 
reflection/amplification attack, OP could still see backscatter, as Jared 
indicated.

In point of fact, if the traffic was low-volume, this might in fact be what he 
was seeing.
