: Validates ARP packets on the network to prevent spoofing.
What Is ARP (Address Resolution Protocol)? How Does It Work? ARP a STP Гєtoky.pptx
: Both protocols can be exploited to cause Denial of Service (DoS) . For example, flooding a network with ARP requests can overwhelm device tables, while STP loops (caused by disabled or misconfigured STP) can create broadcast storms that crash the network. : Validates ARP packets on the network to prevent spoofing
: 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 : Both protocols can be exploited to cause
: 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.
Based on the title (ARP and STP Attacks), this presentation likely focuses on the vulnerabilities and exploitation techniques involving the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) and Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) . Key Features of ARP and STP Attacks
: Prevents a port from becoming a root port, ensuring the Root Bridge remains on a trusted core switch.
