What is the function of Masquerade in SNMPv3 security threats?
✓
Correct Answer
C. An unauthorized user sends information to another assuming the identity of an authorized user
💡
Explanation
Masquerade is when an unauthorized user sends information to another assuming the identity of an authorized user. This can be done by changing the originating address. Using the masquerade and modification of information, an unauthorized user can perform an operation on a management entity, which he or she is not permitted to do. The SNMP set operation should be protected against this attack.
