ARPSPOOF: Network Tool

Image
 ARPSPOOF What is arpspoof? Arpspoof is a powerful network sniffing tool commonly used in network security testing and penetration testing. It operates by intercepting and manipulating Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) traffic on a local area network (LAN). ARP is a protocol used to map an IP address to a physical MAC address on a network. When devices communicate on a network, they use ARP to discover and associate IP addresses with MAC addresses. Arpspoof works by sending forged ARP responses to a target or multiple targets on the same LAN. These ARP responses contain incorrect MAC address mappings, causing the affected devices to send their traffic to the attacker's machine instead of the intended destination. By capturing and analyzing this traffic, attackers can intercept sensitive information, such as login credentials, emails, or other data exchanged between devices on the network. One of the common applications of arpspoof is in man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks, where an at...
