Answer:

DNS poisoning

Explanation:

DNS is a server service that verifies or resolves an IP address to a site or domain name. It's services is made available with a dhcp request from a client system, providing the ip address of the DNS server. The DNS server has the records of domain name linked to their individual ip addresses.

When an attacker wants a client to visit his site without knowing the site is not genuine, he gains access to the dns server and changes the information or poisons the entries of the server. So if the client tries to access that site, it takes him to the attackers site. This is called DNS poisoning.

NemiM [27]

Hi!

The Clipboard in Microsoft Word is great for having more than just one paste option via the paste command.

Using the Clipboard, you can hold up to 24 items that are copied. This makes it efficient if you have a lot of data you would like to paste.

Hopefully, this helps! =)
