💡 Explanation:Ping typically uses IP addresses directly. If communication succeeds via IP but fails via the domain name, the Domain Name System (DNS)—which translates human-readable names into IP addresses—is the likely point of failure.

An attacker intercepts a DNS query and returns a false IP address, redirecting the user. This exploit is primarily known as:
💡 Explanation:DNS Spoofing (or DNS Cache Poisoning) is the specific attack where an attacker manipulates the Domain Name System resolution process to return a false IP address to a user, thereby redirecting them to a malicious website. While this action may be carried out using a Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) technique, 'DNS Spoofing' is the precise name for the exploit targeting the DNS protocol. SQL Injection and Session Hijacking are attacks on application layers (database and session management, respectively), not the name resolution service.

What critical step must precede the browser initiating the HTTP connection to a web server?
💡 Explanation:To initiate an HTTP connection, a browser needs the web server's numerical IP address. The Domain Name System (DNS) resolves the human-readable domain name (e.g., example.com) into this necessary IP address. This DNS lookup (resolution) is the fundamental prerequisite step that must be completed before the browser can correctly direct the HTTP request to the target server's network location.
