What is IP spoofing?
The Internet log address (IP) is the address of the computer on the Internet. Spoofing IP allows you to mask its IP's computer or seem to differ from what it really is. Spoofing IP is generally used to perform one of two things; Hide the identity of the spoofed computer or let the spoofed computer look like something other than what it is. Although there are legitimate reasons why spoof your own system, in most cases spoofing IP is used to cover illegal or unethical practices.
To understand what spoofing is IP and how it works, you only need to know about the addresses of Internet protocols. In the same way the home address tells the exact location of the house, the IP address tells the location of the computer. Each computer has an IP usually assigned by their Internet service provider (ISP). This IP address allows you to find information for your computer to find you in the middle of millions of other machines connected to the system.
Packets of information sent over the InternetThey contain the sender's address and their destination address. IPs can be found from the IP address. Most ISPs assign IP addresses in location -based blocks. Every person in a certain geographical area has similar IP addresses. It is therefore easy to monitor the basic location of any IP address connected to the system.
If the person is involved in the IP spoofing, then the sender's address is missing or changing in packets. When the connected system attempts to find out where the information comes from, they get bad information or none at all. This result is similar to blocking the caller identification (ID) on the phone.
IP spoofing is generally used for one of two things-calling internet attacks and obtaining unauthorized access to the computer system. The most common type of attack is the rejection of the service (DOS) attack. When attacking a DOS attacking computer, it sends as much information on the target server as possible in an effort to overload it. PosThe information packets contain random, often incomprehensible data and the sending address is randomly generated or completely removed.
When obtaining unauthorized access to the Spoofer system, it changes its address to the trust computer address. If two computers are designed to trust each other - for example, computers in different government departments - do not require password or security information to exchange. Because the Spoofer computer is the first department's computer by imitating its IP address, it is easier to get access to the second information.
