Network Attacks and Prevention

In previous chapters, you learned about network scanning and network sniffing. In this chapter, you will see different types of network attacks and how to prevent them. This chapter will be helpful for network admins and network pentesters.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics.

  • DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) starvation attack

So far, you have seen the implementation of ARP spoofing. Now, let's learn about an attack called the network disassociation attack. Its concept is the same as ARP cache poisoning.
