MAC Spoofing Definition: MAC Spoofing is the act of disguising your device's Media Access Control (MAC) address to impersonate a different device on a network, allowing for unauthorized access or interception of data.
MAC Spoofing refers to a type of cyber attack where an attacker falsifies the Media Access Control (MAC) address of a device in order to impersonate another device on a network. This technique allows the attacker to bypass security measures that may be filtering devices based on MAC addresses, leading to unauthorized access to the network, interception of data, or other malicious activities.
