Which of the following types of computer crimes is considered a masquerade attack?
Wiretapping
Data diddling
Salami
IP spoofing
The correct answer is IP spoofing. IP spoofing is considered a masquerade attack because the attacker pretends to be someone else. Data diddling is the manipulation of existing data submitted in a data sheet. A salami attack occurs when an attacker commits several small crimes in the hopes the true larger crime goes unnoticed. Wiretapping uses communications signals to intercept communications such as cellular scanners and radio receivers.
