This is something I'd like to know: Is [Spoofing] the correct term for this ARP modification technique? Would "ARP Poisoning" be a better or correct one than 'spoofing'?.
Spoofing according to Merriam Webster means "to decieve". Technically arp-spoofing would be forging packets with the hardware address of the host you are pretending to be. Arp Poisoning would involve you making the victim host believing that IP Address XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX has MAC Address XX.XX.XX.XX.XX.XX That I think should highlight the difference, but I do believe people use the terms interchangably. Hope that clears the stuff a bit!
