Any procedure in which an attacker simulates the IP address of another host in order to gain unauthorized access to a system. _____________________________________________________________________________
A method used to obtain non-permitted access to computers, whereby the trespasser sends information to a computer with an IP address that seems to be coming from a trusted host. The hacker must find an IP address of a trusted host and then modify the packet headers so that it appears to come from that host. Newer routers and firewalls can offer protection against IP spoofing.
Method used by hackers to break into computers over the Internet using the IP address, the computer's Internet ID.
A method of reporting an IP address other than your own when connecting to theinternet.
One machine claims to have the IP address of another. This is a commonly used tactic of hackers in order to protect themselves against discovery.
An unethical and possibly illegal process of delivering an incorrect IP address when connecting to the Internet.
Impersonation of a system by using its IP address.
The manipulation of Internet packed routing data to impersonate a different machine.
An attack whereby a system attempts to illicitly impersonate another system by using its IP network aDTress.
Spoofing disguises packets so they appear to be coming from another source, typically a trusted host. Often used to gain unauthorized access to computers, IP spoofing can be defeated by a firewall that uses stateful packet inspection to peer into data packets to discern their true nature. Best defense: A hardware firewall.
An illegal process of faking an IP address.
An attack where a system attempts to illicitly impersonate another system by using its IP network address.
Returning an IP address that is different from the one that is actually assigned to the destination website. This is often done with redirects. A huge no-no (it's even a criminal offense when done under certain circumstances).
The forgery of client IP addresses.
IP spoof attacks may occur after an authentication has been made, allowing the attacker to assume the role of a user that is already authorized. Encryption at the session or secure server network layers with SSL validation using 128-bit encryption are the primary protections against IP spoofing. (IP hijacking or IP splicing).
a method of attack in which an attacker forges the addresses on data packets sent over the Internet so they appear to be coming from inside a network within which computers trust each other
An illegal process of faking IP addresses.
A specific type of address spoofing. An attack in which a system impersonates another system by using its IP network address.
an attack where the attacker disguises himself or herself as another user by means of a false IP network address
IP Spoofing is a complex technical attack that is made up of several components. It is a security exploit that works by tricking computers in a trust relationship into thinking that you are someone that you really aren't. There is an extensive paper written by daemon9, route, and infinity in the Volume Seven, Issue Forty-Eight issue of Phrack Magazine.
A technique of connecting to a web site and reporting an IP address different than the one you are actually connected too. This is a highly unethical tactic and may break some computer and technology laws. In the context of search engines, IP Spoofing involves redirecting or fooling a search engine into indexing one site, while actually delivering content from another site. It can also include falsely redirecting a user to some other site after innocently clicking on a link.
A technique used to gain unauthorized access to computers, whereby the intruder sends messages to a computer with an IP address indicating that the message is coming from a trusted port. To engage in IP spoofing, a hacker must first use a variety of techniques to find an IP address of a trusted port and then modify the packet headers so that it appears that the packets are coming from that port.
IP spoofing is simply forging the IP addresses in an IP packet. This is used in many types of "attacks" including session hijacking. It is also often used to fake the e-mail headers of SPAM so they cannot be properly traced.
Usually involves the creation of customised IP packets with forged, (spoofed), source addresses.
Spoofing can be compared to forgery. In IP Spoofing the IP address of a given computer system is forged by an attacker, just like a check can be forged by a thief. The attacker communicates under the shield or cover of the spoofed IP address and the receiver thinks they are communicating with a trusted source. The attacker can potentially compromise an entire network with a spoofed IP address.
An attack whereby a system, by using its IP network address, attempts to illicitly impersonate another system.
The act of sending messages to a computer using an IP address from a trusted source to gain unauthorized access to that computer. IP spoofing is illegal in many countries.
An attack whereby a system attempts to illicitly impersonate another system by using IP network address. - No entries.
is the illegal process of faking an IP address.
