MAC spoofing

MAC spoofing, also known as MAC address spoofing, is an attack that involves spoofing the Media Access Control (MAC) address of legitimate hosts. MAC spoofing attacks involve the use of a known MAC address of another host to attempt to make the target switch forward frames destined for the remote host to the network attacker.
