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 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. ARP a STP Гєtoky.pptx

: Prevents a port from becoming a root port, ensuring the Root Bridge remains on a trusted core switch. : While often associated with switches, this attack

: 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. : Prevents a port from becoming a root

These protocols are foundational to local area networks (LANs) but lack built-in security, making them common targets for network-level attacks:

: Validates ARP packets on the network to prevent spoofing.
