Spoofing
May 15th, 2008 by Igor Pankov
Spoofing is the imitation of something legitimate on the Internet. This could be a website’s address in the browser address bar, the MAC or IP address of a connecting LAN client, or a DNS query that could lead to the disclosure of personal information from a computer. Spoofing is closely related to faking, and has become an established security and hacker term meaning a forgery.
