Spoofing is a type of attack in which an attacker pretends to be another entity, such as a trusted website, email sender, or device, to trick victims into divulging sensitive information or performing malicious actions.
• Used by attackers in phishing schemes to make fraudulent emails appear as if they come from legitimate sources.• Employed in network attacks to intercept communications by impersonating trusted devices.
Attackers manipulate communication protocols or address fields to make their malicious actions appear to come from a trusted source, tricking victims into complying with requests or divulging information.
Types include email spoofing, IP address spoofing, DNS spoofing, and caller ID spoofing.
Spoofing can be prevented by using authentication mechanisms such as DMARC for email, encrypting communications, and verifying the authenticity of communication sources.
