97 | ---------------------------------- | ||
98 | When a malicious driver attempts to send a spoofed packet, it is dropped by | ||
99 | the hardware and not transmitted. An interrupt is sent to the PF driver | ||
100 | notifying it of the spoof attempt. | ||
101 | |||
102 | When a spoofed packet is detected the PF driver will send the following | ||
103 | message to the system log (displayed by the "dmesg" command): | ||
104 | |||
105 | Spoof event(s) detected on VF(n) | ||
106 | |||
