Arp A Stp — Гєtoky.pptx

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

: Automatically disables a port if it receives an STP BPDU, preventing unauthorized devices from influencing the STP topology. 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. Based on the title (ARP and STP Attacks),

These protocols are foundational to local area networks (LANs) but lack built-in security, making them common targets for network-level attacks: For example, flooding a network with ARP requests

: 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.

: 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

: Prevents a port from becoming a root port, ensuring the Root Bridge remains on a trusted core switch.
