Hackers Beware

Summary

This chapter covered various forms of spoofing, including IP spoofing, email spoofing, web spoofing, and non-technical spoofing attacks. All of these types of attacks can have a detrimental effect on a company and cause a lot of damage. Only by understanding how they work can you be in a better position to prevent these types of attacks. One other word of caution: Even though I showed you how to perform various types of spoofing attacks, it was only done so that you can better protect your site. They should never be used against a site where you do not have written permission. They might seem like fun, but you can find yourself in a lot of legal trouble if you perform spoofing without permission.
