IP address spoofing

IP address spoofing is a way of pretending to be someone else online. It involves someone changing their own IP address to match the IP address of another person or group so that it looks like their traffic is coming from them instead of the person who is really sending it. This can be used for malicious purposes, like stealing information or breaking into someone's computer. IP address spoofing is a type of cybercrime and can be dangerous if not prevented.
