Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

IP spoofing involves an attacker disguising a device as another by falsifying data and thereby tricking systems into accepting it as a trusted device. Ensuring unique identification and authentication of devices before establishing a connection directly mitigates this threat by verifying the device's identity, making it harder for an attacker to impersonate another device.
