Rokko Posted October 9, 2002 Hey Shujui here's the answers of what you are asking I hope it helps. Please let me know if not.. aight? 1: what does MIPS stands for? Answer: MIPS stands for 'Million Instructions Per Second 2: What does Spoofin mean? Answer: In communications, creating fake responses or signals in order to keep a session active and prevent timeouts. For example, a mainframe or mini continuously polls its terminals. If the lines to remote terminals are temporarily suspended because there is no traffic, a local device spoofs the host with "I'm still here" responses. Faking the sending address of a transmission in order to gain illegal entry into a secure system. Hope this helped. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
