WHAT IS SPOOFING IP ADDRESSED AND MAC ADDRESS

WHAT IS SPOOFING:-
Spoofing, or decoying, is the practice of inundating online networks with bogus or incomplete files of the same name in an effort to frustrate traders and reduce unlawful downloading.
Spoofing IP Addresses:-
In computer networking, the term IP address spoofing or IP spoofing refers to the creation of Internet Protocol (IP) packets with a forged source IP address, called spoofing, with the purpose of concealing the identity of the sender or impersonating another computing system.
Spoofing MAC Addresses:-
MAC spoofing is a technique for changing a factory-assigned Media Access Control (MAC) address of a network interface on a networked device. The MAC Address is also known as the Hardware Address.
There are legitimate and illegitimate reasons to change the MAC Address of a network adapter. The changing of the assigned MAC address may allow the bypassing of access control lists on servers or routers, either hiding a computer on a network or allowing it to impersonate another network device. A user may wish to legitimately spoof the MAC address of a previous hardware device in order to reacquire connectivity after hardware failure.
Unlike IP address spoofing, where senders spoofing their address in a request direct the receiver into sending the response elsewhere, in MAC address spoofing the response is received by the spoofing party. However, MAC address spoofing is limited to the local broadcast domain.
