Ip spoofing is one of the types in which the spoofers imitate or change the information of who the packet is from to fool the recipent. Through this the access to the machines is gained to verify the identity. In E-mail spoofing spoofer can change the information about who is sending the e-mail. Website spoofing and Protocol spoofing are some other types of spoofing. The budapest convention on cyber crimes article 7 discusses the "Computer-related forgery- that each Party shall adopt such legislative and other measures as may be necessary to establish as criminal offences under its domestic law, when committed intentionally and without right, the input, alteration, deletion, or suppression of computer data, resulting in inauthentic data with the intent that it be considered or acted upon for legal purposes as if it were authentic, regardless whether or not the data is directly readable and intelligible. A Party may require an intent to defraud, or similar dishonest intent, before criminal liability attaches."[1] The E-crime bill 2007 has been approved last year by the Federal cabinet. In this bill the incorrect definitions has been used to define the terms, which tells that rather than preventing the country from the cyber crimes, the spoofers will feel free to do such activities. Spoofing should be the part of the cyber crime in order prevent above mentioned types to happen.
