IP Spoofing: An Introduction Criminals have long employed the tactic of masking their true identity, from disguises to aliases to caller-id blocking. It should come as no surprise then, that criminals who conduct their nefarious activities on networks and computers should employ such techniques. IP spoofing is one of the most common forms of on-line camouflage. In IP spoofing, an attacker gains unauthorized access to a computer or a network by making it appear that a malicious message has come

226 IEEE/ACM TRANSACTIONS ON NETWORKING, VOL. 9, NO. 3, JUNE 2001 Network Support for IP Traceback Stefan Savage, David Wetherall, Member, IEEE, Anna Karlin, and Tom Anderson Abstract--This paper describes a technique for tracing anonymous packet flooding attacks in the Internet back toward their source. This work is motivated by the increased frequency and sophistication of denial-of-service attacks and by the difficulty in tracing packets with incorrect, or "spoofed," source addresses. In

more modifications were conducted; to include the presidents and other’s salary and then took those deductions and added them to their paycheck. IT personnel were able to identify that an internal system was conducting a man-in-the-middle attack by spoofing an internal Internet Protocol address, whereby all traffic that was sent to a specific location was involuntarily sent to another system. The culprit was lack of access controls, central reporting systems, authentication controls, and a lack of host

-Describe the nature of the event: A highly technical interference was discovered in the organization's financial reports that rounds off several stealthy methods which puts the company at great risk. This discovery was as a result of an audit carried out by professionals on a routine basis. They noticed that many paychecks which had been doctored were made to a particular person. In a bid to notify the right personnel through mail, the mails were intercepted and fraudulent communications were between

let you know how likely the attack is to occur at your company. Third we will provide you the real number data to support the idea if you should spend money or not on improving your protection from this type of attack. Spoofing: In 2006 banks were targeted by attackers with a spoofing attack. An article written by McMillan (2006) stated that the attackers were able to hack into the banks' ISP servers and redirect traffic from the legitimate banks' websites to a bogus server. The attackers were able

way to filter who has access to your network its simply like saying Fred has access to the building with his fingerprint being scanned by a biometric scanner. Although this can be spoofed by spoofing your mac but you would still have to find out which macs are allowed and have to make sure the mac your spoofing is not connected so that you do not receive a duplicate error. Lab Review 6.4 1. A AP’s signal would fade naturally the farther from the signal source you go but with the signal going through

The things in this summary include the demonstration and capabilities of GPS Dots, wave bubbles, and GPS Spoofs. GPS Dots are little dots the size of your thumb that have the capabilities to track down the things it is attached to. This is helpful to find the things that are valuable and essential. It is predicted that in the next few years, everyone would have lots of GPS dots for everything they need. Wave bubbles are invisible “bubbles” that stretch for miles and jams or disables the transmissions

based on the source IP address of the packet. You would not want a packet coming in from the outside that has an IP address that should be INSIDE your organization. This might be from someone using a “SPOOFED” source IP address to attack your internal network resources. If you were receiving numerous packets from a single IP address this might be from someone trying to perform a Denial of Service (DoS) attack on you. Obviously you would want to block traffic from that IP address. Sometimes
