ARP-DNS Spoofing Attack using Cain & Abel.

Hey guys today i'm writing a very simple and interesting tutorial on DNS spoofing or poisoning attack using Cain & Abel.

DNS SPOOFING

DNS spoofing or DNS cache poisoning is a computer hacking attack in which data is introduced into a Domain Name System(DNS) name servers cache database, which causes the name server to return to an incorrect ip address, diverting traffic to another computer.

In simple words, it redirects the traffic to another website.

For example the victim wants to open www.facebook.com but is redirected to www.myspace.com
