VI. Detecting ARP Attacks with the XArp Tool

Scenario

You have already learned in the previous lab to capture username and password information using Cain & Abel. Similarly, attackers, too, can sniff the username and password of a user. Once attackers have a username and password, they can simply gain access to a network’s database and perform illegitimate activities. If that account has administrator permissions, attackers can disable firewalls and load fatal viruses and worms on the computer and spread that onto the network. They can also perform different types of attacks such as denial-of-service attacks, spoofing, buffer overflow, heap overflow, etc.

Lab Analysis

In this lab, you have learnt how to detect ARP attacks. Analyze and document the results related to the lab exercise.
