1. spoof
To capture, alter, and retransmit a communication stream in a way
that misleads the recipient. As used by hackers, refers especially to
altering TCP/IP packet source addresses or other packet-header data in
order to masquerade as a trusted machine. This term has become very
widespread and is borderline techspeak. Interestingly, it was already in
use in its modern sense more than a century ago among Victorian
telegraphers; it shows up in Kipling.
