Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Masquerading is the act of pretending to be someone or something else, in this case, an authorized user, in order to gain access to the system. Bluebugging, eavesdropping, and podslurping are all different techniques for gaining unauthorized access to a system, but they do not involve the perpetrator pretending to be an authorized user.
