In spite of the use of standard web security measures, swindlers often clone sensitive web sites and/or present false credentials, causing substantial damages to individuals and corporations. Several papers presented such web spoofing attacks, and suggested countermeasures, mostly by improved browser user interface. However, we argue that these countermeasures are inappropriate to most non-expe...

Spoofing makes the task of identification and tracking back of the perpetrator / initiator in Cyber Crimes very difficult, e.g. the attacks by way of changing its network identifiers in WLANs. In such a scenario, spoof detection methods have gain wide attention. One way to prevent from spoofing is to authenticate the frames. However, in 802.11 WLANs, authentication and encryption for management...

We present an analysis of a class of attacks we call address spoofing. Fundamentals of internetwork routing and communication are presented, followed by a discussion of the address spoofing class. The attack class is made concrete with a discussion of a well known incident. We conclude by dispelling several myths of purported security solutions including the security provided by one-time passwo...

Biometric forms of authentication are becoming increasingly popular in mobile devices. Passwords and PINs are being replaced by this convenient and more secure form of identification. Although biometric forms of identification provide a higher level of security, hacking and spoofing techniques are also becoming more sophisticated. There are anti-spoofing technologies that can help defend agains...

In this paper, we analyze the performance of TCP in a network that consists of both satellite and terrestrial components. One method, proposed by outside research, to improve the performance of data transfers over satellites is to use a performance enhancing proxy often dubbed “spoofing”. Spoofing involves the transparent splitting of a TCP connection between the source and destination by some ...

Many trait-specific countermeasures to face spoofing attacks have been developed for security of face authentication. However, there is no superior face anti-spoofing technique to deal with every kind of spoofing attack in varying scenarios. In order to improve the generalization ability of face anti-spoofing approaches, an extendable multi-cues integration framework for face anti-spoofing usin...

Any biometric recognizer is vulnerable to spoofing attacks and hence voice biometric, also called automatic speaker verification (ASV), is no exception; replay, synthesis and conversion attacks all provoke false acceptances unless countermeasures are used. We focus on voice conversion (VC) attacks considered as one of the most challenging for modern recognition systems. To detect spoofing, most...

In this paper, we analyze the performance of protocols in a network that consists of both satellite and terrestrial components. One method, proposed by outside research, to improve the performance of network transfers over satellite is to use a performance enhancing proxy often dubbed spoofing. Spoofing involves the transparent splitting of a network connection between the source and destinatio...

How well do humans detect spoofing attacks directed at automatic speaker verification systems? This paper investigates the performance of humans at detecting spoofing attacks from speech synthesis and voice conversion systems. Two speaker verification tasks, in which the speakers were either humans or machines, were also conducted. The three tasks were carried out with two types of data: wideba...

The exponential growth in the deployment of IEEE 802.11based wireless LAN (WLAN) in enterprises and homes makes WLAN an attractive target for attackers. Attacks that exploit vulnerabilities at the IP layer or above can be readily addressed by intrusion detection systems designed for wired networks. However, attacks exploiting linklayer protocol vulnerabilities require a different set of intrusi...
