The basis of spoofing involves masquerading a trusted system in order to gain unauthorized access to a secure environment. IP spoofing involves modifying data to make it appear to originate from the IP address of a system that is trusted by a server or firewall. Using this approach, a host is able to pass through the IP filtering that would otherwise serve to prevent access.
