Results for tag: "MAC Spoofing"

MAC spoofing is a type of IT security attack in which a malicious actor alters the Media Access Control (MAC) address of a network device to gain access to a network. This is done by changing the MAC address of the device to match the address of an authorized device, allowing the attacker to bypass authentication and gain access to the network. The attacker can then use the network to launch further attacks or steal data. The MAC spoofing market is a growing sector of the IT security industry, as organizations become increasingly aware of the risks posed by malicious actors. Companies in the market offer a range of solutions to help organizations protect their networks from MAC spoofing attacks, including network monitoring, authentication systems, and encryption technologies.
