IP Spoofing Attack and Defenses


IP Spoofing is the type of attack in which hacker modify the packets and replace the original source IP with a false IP address. In this case, reciever will say that the packets is recieved from the fake ID.

The term spoofing is also sometimes used to refer to header forgery because attacker forges the header of the packets with fake information.


Hacker often use this method to hide their identity and making fool on the internet by showing that the packets was sent by different computer system.


This process is used to send fake mail, requests or other information with a fake IP address to mislead others about the information being sent. Hackers often use IP spoofing for sendingspam mail and denial of service attacks.
