IP Spoofing

IP spoofing is a technique where someone hides their real identity online by pretending to have a different IP address, which is like a digital home address for internet devices. Attackers use this method to disguise their location and make it appear as if their traffic is coming from a trusted source. This can be used to bypass security measures, launch cyber attacks, or access restricted information. Essentially, IP spoofing manipulates address information in data packets to deceive systems and hide the true origin of the traffic.
