What is a Spoofing Attack? | Spoofing Attack क्या है?
Spoofing is a cyber or electronic deception technique in which false data or signals are presented as if they originate from a legitimate and trusted source.
Spoofing एक cyber या electronic deception technique है जिसमें false data या signals को legitimate और trusted source से आया हुआ दिखाया जाता है।

What is GPS Spoofing? | GPS Spoofing क्या है?
GPS spoofing involves transmitting counterfeit navigation signals designed to resemble genuine satellite signals. A receiver may lock onto the false signals and calculate an incorrect location, altitude, speed or time.
GPS spoofing में counterfeit navigation signals transmit किए जाते हैं जो genuine satellite signals जैसे दिखाई देते हैं। Receiver इन false signals को genuine मान सकता है और गलत location, altitude, speed या time calculate कर सकता है।
GPS Spoofing vs GPS Jamming | GPS Spoofing और Jamming में अंतर
Jamming prevents or disrupts reception of genuine navigation signals by creating radio-frequency interference.
Jamming radio-frequency interference उत्पन्न करके genuine navigation signals की reception को block या disrupt करता है।
Spoofing, in contrast, attempts to deceive the receiver by supplying false navigation information.
Spoofing receiver को false navigation information देकर deceive करने का प्रयास करता है।
Why are GPS Signals Vulnerable? | GPS Signals संवेदनशील क्यों हैं?
Signals arriving from navigation satellites at Earth's surface are extremely weak. A sufficiently strong counterfeit signal in the same frequency band may therefore mislead an inadequately protected receiver.
Navigation satellites से Earth surface तक पहुँचने वाले signals बहुत weak होते हैं। इसलिए same frequency band में sufficiently strong counterfeit signal inadequately protected receiver को mislead कर सकता है।
Impact on Aircraft | विमानों पर प्रभाव
Aircraft rely on satellite navigation together with several other navigation systems. Successful spoofing can introduce false position or timing data, potentially increasing pilot workload and creating operational risks.
Aircraft satellite navigation के साथ अन्य navigation systems पर भी depend करते हैं। Successful spoofing false position या timing data introduce कर सकता है, जिससे pilot workload और operational risk बढ़ सकता है।

Exam Point | परीक्षा बिंदु
Remember: jamming blocks or overwhelms genuine signals, while spoofing supplies false signals that deceive the receiver.
याद रखें: Jamming genuine signals को block या overwhelm करता है, जबकि spoofing false signals भेजकर receiver को deceive करता है।
