Hi
I dont understand what you mean by spoofing, since wherever you use UDP or TCP the underlying layer still remains IP so when you spoof a source you spoof an IP source.
If you talk about a man-in-the-middle attack then taking a closer look at both protocols will show that UDP doesnt establish any connection before starting the communication.
Using TCP you`ll need to ACK incomming data using a pre-established sequence number which makes the attack on TCP harder but not impossible.

Betreff: Why TCP is more secure than UDP?
It is said that UDP is considered more vulnerable to spoofing than TCP?
Can anyone point me to any document/link which describes TCP is more
secure than UDP
