The '''spoofer''' is a small device used by the [[UNSC]] forces to force open [[door]]s and override certain pieces of equipment by sending in an electrical current that stabilizes the device that may be locked, damaged, or otherwise unable to function.<ref name="tf">'''Halo: The Flood''', ''page 173''</ref>

They are standard equipment to [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] [[fireteam]]s when deployed into ground engagements. They appear to be very advanced, as they are capable of even overriding the [[Forerunner]] locks on doors in Installation 04.<ref name="tf"/>

In [[2552]], [[Private]] [[Kappus]] used one to open the door to the [[Flood containment facility]] on Installation 04. He was ordered by [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Jacob Keyes]] to open the door that happened to be the only thing holding back the [[Flood]]. Unwillingly and unknowingly, Kappus unleashed the Flood on [[Installation 04]], dooming him and the rest of his squad,<ref>'''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''', campaign level ''[[343 Guilty Spark (level)|343 Guilty Spark]]''</ref><ref name="tf"/> with the exception of [[Avery Junior Johnson|Sgt. Johnson]] and the "[[paranoid Marine]]".
