Comparing ARP attacks and defense methods
ARP is a widely used protocol that resolves an IP address to a MAC address. In most cases, ARP works well to ensure devices can find one another. However, the protocol was standardized many years ago, and there has never been a way to ensure the authenticity of ARP messages.
As a result, we'll outline a few ARP attacks that can misdirect traffic and interfere with normal network behavior. In response, we'll also take a look at some of the ways to defend against these types of attacks.
Let's begin by covering some of the attacks against ARP.
Comparing ARP attacks and tools
ARP is used on a LAN, which can be a vulnerable target. Some of the attacks and techniques used to penetrate an ARP framework include spoofing and storming, which can misdirect traffic or cause problems on the network. In this section, we'll compare some of the attacks you or a colleague might encounter.
Let's start...
