IP Spoofing

IP Spoofing is probably the ultimate trick or attack that an attacker can execute ton the target system. Almost all wannabe computer experts dream of being able to spoof their IP address and fool the target system into establishing illegitimate connections. If successfully executed, IP spoofing is definitely one of the most smooth and classic attacks on the Internet. However, IP spoofing attacks are quite complex and very few attackers have actually been able to spoof their identity successfully. IP Spoofing is a process wherein an attacker fools or tricks the target system into believing that the data packets being sent actually originated on a system other than the real source system. In other words, IP spoofing is a technique that allows an attacker to change or disguise his real identity while communicating with the target system. In this technique, the data packets that the attacker sends to the system will seem to originate at some other arbitrary system.
