ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) CACHE POISONING

ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) CACHE POISONING

                This is also known as ARP SPOOFING. Through this attacker sends fake or spoofed ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) messages to the LAN (Local Area Network) and aims at attacker’s MAC Address with IP Address of another host. This mean sending traffic meant for any gateway to the attacker’s website.


                This ARP Spoofing allows him to intercept data such as passwords, credit/debit card details etc. being transmitted on his network, with which he can easily access our details referred as above.
