In certain TCP implementations sequence numbers are not properly validated, so in those cases an attacker does not even need to know the correct sequence numbers.

Thanks to Guy for the RFC,

How can the attacker get the sequence numbers correct/within the window
range to be able to destroy exactly that window?
