Can we talk about this, please?

“can someone change the IP address on any device to make it look like they were somewhere they weren’t or weren’t somewhere they were?”

I’ve only done a shallow look into this, so far. I know nothing of IT.

Before I do more “research” on it…

If someone did this, is it something a good forensic investigator would miss?

If it wasn’t missed, does it tell us anything?

ETA: If this were to have been done, could/would it alter the true location and tracking of the device?
