I don't think that's correct. Routers separate networks, and forward traffic from one network to another, not from one host to another. And, for what it's worth, most of the "Mallory" tools I've seen are called proxies. > I never said anything about sending a user to any site other > than the real one. Sorry, I don't know where you get that from. If you send a user to your proxy instead of letting the user communicate directly to the site, you are sending the user to a site other than the real one.
