DNS Spoofing: Is it really dangerous?
In today’s digitally interconnected world, the Domain Name System (DNS) plays a crucial role in translating human-readable domain names into their corresponding IP addresses. However, like any technology, DNS is not immune to security vulnerabilities. One such threat is DNS spoofing, a malicious practice that can lead to serious consequences for users and organizations alike. In this blog post, we will explore the concept of DNS spoofing and examine whether it is truly as dangerous as it is often perceived.
Understanding DNS Spoofing
DNS spoofing, also known as DNS cache poisoning, is a technique employed by attackers to manipulate the DNS resolution process. The objective is to redirect users to fraudulent or malicious websites by altering the DNS cache entries on a targeted DNS server. This can be achieved by injecting false DNS responses, causing the server to associate incorrect IP addresses with legitimate domain names.

What is IPv4 used for?
What exactly is IPv4?
In the early 1980s, the concept of IPv4 address type was created. Even if a new version of IP addresses is available, IPv4 remains the most popular among internet users.
Internet Protocol version 4 is the foundational technology for connecting all devices to the Internet. A numerical IP address, such as 45.17.98.65, is assigned to a gadget when it establishes a connection. A data packet comprising both devices’ IP addresses must be transferred over the network to transfer data via the Internet from one device to another.
