Web Spoofing

A White Paper describing privacy issues of World Wide Web users and the integrity of user data. Web spoofing allows an attacker to create a “shadow copy” of a website. Accesses to the shadow Web are funneled through the attacker’s machine, allowing the attacker to monitor all of the victim’s activities including any passwords or account numbers the victim enters. In short, the attacker observes and controls everything the victim does on the Web.
