There are two types of address through which the computer is connected 
to the Local Area Network (LAN) i.e. MAC address & IP address. MAC 
Address can be defined as the address of the network card that remains 
fixed. IP address depicts the virtual address of a particular computer 
on the network. 
Nowadays, various hackers create fake addresses so as to attack the 
target. They send large number of SYN packets to the target so that 
the entire memory of target gets hogged. If the target receives a 
large number of SYN packets than the machine may even get hanged or 
rebooted. Generating one such fake address on the local area network 
(LAN) is not a hard thing to do. With so many soft wares accessible, 
one can easily create a fake address.
Below given is a common example that can be termed as the easiest way 
for generating a fake address.
Create the fake host
>> The machine one wish to fool should have the host entry. This 
spoofing domain is also known as “arc”. The entry of the host file 
will be 192.168.1.100 arc.
See here to know that how to add hosts to your particular machine?
>> One should import a central host file to various machines.
Create a virtual host in apache config..
>> One should create the virtual host in apache. One should keep his 
in the vhosts.conf file that is right next to htttpd.conf. The entry 
of the “arc” goes like-
          <VirtualHost *>
	  ServerName  arc
	  ServerAlias  arc.com arc.org
	  ServerAdmin  corz@corzoogle.com
	  DocumentRoot  "W:/tech/dev"
	  DirectoryIndex  index.html index.php
	  ServerSignature  Email
 	</VirtualHost>
Restart the apache.
>> Apache for the windows come with various hosts that consist of 
various useful shortcuts. On LINUX/UNIX the usual apache command can 
be used. On Mac OSX, one should use corzweescriptpack.
The fake address opened should have one’s network ID and that should 
be non-existing. The existence can be checked by just pinging it. Thus 
by following the above given steps carefully, one can easily generate 
a fake address on the Local Area Network (LAN) switch.
