What is Email Spoofing?

Email Spoofing is a process of faking source address of an Email. It means that we can show that email has been sent from someone else. This could be quite useful in various client side hacking techniques and is an important part of Social Engineering.
Using Email Spoofing techniques you can send fake emails to users to win their trust in order to execute our attack. Since the source address will be fake(Probably a mail from some famous trusted company) our victim will believe the mail and will be hacked.

Example use of Email Spoofing :

You can create a Facebook password change form having looks similar to that of Facebook, after that you send the link of the online form to the victim by spoofing the source address as of Facebook like password@facebook.com or something like that. This way user will believe that the mail is from Facebook and will surely enter his credentials.

How to send an anonymous mail :

Now let us discuss about the actual steps involved in sending anonymous or fake mails.

1) You first need an fake email sender. You could either use some online fake email senderlike :

2.2) Free hosting service : You need a hosting service in order to host the PHP mail file. There are many free hosting services which provides a free domain too. We will use some free service like x10hosting.com. Create an account there an upload your php file there. Your link will be username.x10hosting.com/mail.php.
You could also try some other free web hosting service like :
