What is IP Spoofing?
IP Spoofing is a cybersecurity attack where a malicious actor By impersonating a legitimate entity, attackers can bypass
disguises their IP address as a trusted source to gain security measures and potentially compromise sensitive data
unauthorized access to a network or system. or disrupt network operations.
How does IP Spoofing
work?

1 An attacker crafts a network packet with a forged source IP


address.

2 The packet is then sent to the target system, appearing to


originate from the spoofed address.

3 The target system, unaware of the spoofing, trusts the


packet and processes it as if it were from the legitimate
source.

Impacts and Consequences of IP Spoofing

Data Breaches
1 Unauthorized access to confidential data and information.

Denial of Service (DoS)


2 Disrupting network services by overwhelming target systems with
spoofed traffic.

Man-in-the-Middle Attacks
3 Interception and manipulation of communication between
legitimate users and services.
IP Spoofing Detection
Methods

Firewall Analysis Network Monitoring


Firewalls can detect spoofed packets Intrusion detection systems (IDS) can
based on IP address filtering and other identify anomalous traffic patterns and
security rules. suspicious IP addresses.

Packet Inspection
Analyzing network packets for
inconsistencies in IP addresses and
other header information.
Preventive Measures and Best Practices

Strong Authentication
1
Implement multi-factor authentication to verify user identities and prevent unauthorized access.

Network Segmentation
2
Divide the network into isolated segments to limit the impact of an attack.
