A spoofing attack is a type of cyber attack in which an attacker attempts to disguise their identity by using someone else’s address or IP address. In the context of networking, it can also refer to IP address spoofing, which is when a malicious user changes the source address of their packets so they appear to come from another machine or network. Spoofing attacks can be used to gain access to a network or to try to launch distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks.
