spoofing[′spüf·iŋ] (electronics) Deceiving or misleading the enemy in electronic operations, as by continuing transmission on a frequency after it has been effectively jammed by the enemy, using decoy radar transmitters to lead the enemy into a useless jamming effort, or transmitting radio messages containing false information for intentional interception by the enemy. spoofingA technique used to reduce network overhead, especially inwide area networks (WAN).
Some network protocols send frequent packets for managementpurposes. These can be routing updates or keep-alivemessages. In a WAN this can introduce significant overhead,due to the typically smaller bandwidth of WAN connections.
Spoofing reduces the required bandwidth by having devices,such as bridges or routers, answer for the remote devices.This fools (spoofs) the LAN device into thinking the remoteLAN is still connected, even though it's not. The spoofingsaves the WAN bandwidth, because no packet is ever sent out onthe WAN.
LAN protocols today do not yet accommodate spoofing easily.
["Network Spoofing" by Jeffrey Fritz, BYTE, December 1994,pages 221 - 224].spoofing(1) Faking the sending address of a transmission in order to gain illegal entry into a secure system. See email spoofing and how to spoof your techie friend.

Spoofing1. An illegal practice in which an investor with a long position on a security makes a buy order for that security and immediately cancels it without filling the order. Spoofing tends to increase the price of that security as other investors may then issue their own buy orders, which increases the appearance of demand. The first investor then closes his/her long position by selling the security at the new, higher price. Spoofing is a form of market manipulation. See also: Pump and dump.
2. The act of impersonating a person, usually over the Internet, with the intention of gaining access to another's personal or financial information. It is a means of identity theft.Spoofing.Some market analysts maintain that the increased volatility in stock markets may be the result of an illegal practice known as spoofing, or phantom bids. To spoof, traders who own shares of a certain stock place an anonymous buy order for a large number of shares of the stock through an electronic communications network (ECN). Then they cancel, or withdraw, the order seconds later. As soon as the order is placed, however, the price jumps. That's because investors following the market closely enter their own orders to buy what seems to be a hot stock and drive up the price. When the price rises, the spoofer sells shares at the higher price, and gets out of the market in that stock. Investors who bought what they thought was a hot stock may be left with a substantial loss if the price quickly drops back to its prespoof price. Spoofing is a variant of the scam known as pump and dump. ThesaurusSeespoof |
