- MAC
- ARP
- address resolution protocol
- protocol that translates MAC
addresses to IP addresses
- protocol that translates MAC
addresses to IP addresses
- steps
- 1. Device broadcasts to network: who has IP 192.168.0.x?
- ARP Query
- ARP Query
- 2. All devices receive request and evaluate.
- 3. Device with 192.168.0.x responds with MAC address
- ARP Reply
- ARP Reply
- 4. Querying device updates its ARP table
- 1. Device broadcasts to network: who has IP 192.168.0.x?
- address resolution protocol
- switches
- network topology like hub
- only sends frames to
intended recipient (rather
than broadcasting like hub)
- generally more efficient than
hubs because of this routing
- generally more efficient than
hubs because of this routing
- maps ports to MAC addresses
- layer 2
- network topology like hub
- ARP spoofing
- type of attack that uses ARP
protocol to allow one network
device to masquerade as another.

- MAC flooding attack
- type of attack where the switch becomes
overwhelmed and does one of 2 things
- switch does not
accept any more
mappings, freshly
booted devices
denied
- switch stops
routing and
broadcasts all
messages
- switch does not
accept any more
mappings, freshly
booted devices
denied
- steps
- 1. Attacker floods network with
gratuitous ARP replies with fake
MAC addresses.
- 2. Switch attempts to
map fake addresses and
fills up its mapping table.

gratuitous ARP replies with fake
MAC addresses.
