Editing IP address spoofing (section)

== Other definitions ==
The term '''''spoofing''''' is also sometimes used to refer to ''header forgery'', the insertion of false or misleading information in [[e-mail spoofing|e-mail]] or [[netnews]] headers. Falsified headers are used to mislead the recipient, or network applications, as to the origin of a message. This is a common technique of [[spamming|spammers]] and [[sporgery|sporgers]], who wish to conceal the origin of their messages to avoid being tracked.
