URL

URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator, and is used to specify addresses on the World Wide Web. A URL is the fundamental network identification for any resource connected to the web (e.g., hypertext pages, images, and sound files). The domain name is the computer on which the resource is located.


URL spoofing

URL spoofing is the process of creating false or fake URLs which pose as another website. The spoofed URL or website address appear to be very similar to the original, actual URL, but in reality redirects the user to a 'booby trapped' website.
