Well, this has turned into a semantic distinction. I generally consider "spoofing" to be a passive attack, i.e., one that does not require intercept or redirect anything. Anything that requires that sort of active attack I consider "hijacking". After all, if you've taken over a router, and told that router to route packets for a given address to you instead, you've effectively *become* that address. -- Ben Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | The opinions expressed in this message are those of the author and do not | | necessarily represent the views or policy of any other person, entity or | | organization.
