: Attackers send falsified ARP messages to a local network to link their MAC address with the IP address of a legitimate server or gateway. This allows them to intercept, modify, or stop data in transit, often facilitating Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attacks.
: In an STP attack, a malicious actor sends Bridge Protocol Data Units (BPDUs) with a higher priority (lower numerical value) to force the network to elect their device as the "Root Bridge". This causes all network traffic to flow through the attacker's device for interception. ARP a STP Гєtoky.pptx
: While often associated with switches, this attack fills a switch's CAM table with fake MAC addresses, forcing it to act like a hub and broadcast all traffic to every port, where an attacker can sniff it. Common Mitigations : Attackers send falsified ARP messages to a
These protocols are foundational to local area networks (LANs) but lack built-in security, making them common targets for network-level attacks: This causes all network traffic to flow through
