Скачать или смотреть Hacker Tactics Unveiled: The Threat of ARP Spoofing

ARP Spoofing (Address Resolution Protocol Spoofing):



ARP Spoofing is a malicious technique used in computer networking to intercept, modify, or redirect network traffic. The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is a fundamental protocol used to map an IP address to a physical MAC address on a local network. In an ARP Spoofing attack, the attacker sends falsified ARP messages to associate their MAC address with the IP address of a legitimate network device, such as a router or another computer.


The primary goals of ARP Spoofing include:


Man-in-the-Middle Attacks: By manipulating ARP tables, attackers can position themselves as intermediaries between two communicating parties. This allows them to intercept, alter, or eavesdrop on the communication.


Traffic Diversion: ARP Spoofing can be used to redirect network traffic intended for one device to the attacker's machine. This enables the attacker to capture sensitive information or launch further attacks.


Denial of Service (DoS): By sending malicious ARP responses, an attacker can disrupt the normal functioning of a network by causing confusion in ARP tables, leading to communication failures.


Mitigating ARP Spoofing typically involves using secure and authenticated protocols, implementing ARP spoofing detection tools, and educating network users about the risks associated with accepting unsolicited ARP responses.
