Detailed explanation-1: -Domain Name Server (DNS) spoofing (a.k.a. DNS cache poisoning) is an attack in which altered DNS records are used to redirect online traffic to a fraudulent website that resembles its intended destination.
Detailed explanation-2: -While the terms DNS poisoning and DNS spoofing are used interchangeably, there’s a difference between the two. DNS Poisoning is the method attackers use to compromise and replace DNS data with a malicious redirect. DNS Spoofing is the end result, where users are redirected to the malicious website via a poisoned cache.
Detailed explanation-3: -While DNS poisoning spoofs IP addresses of legitimate sites and its effect can spread across multiple networks and servers, ARP poisoning spoofs physical addresses (MAC addresses) within the same network segment (subnet).
