: 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
These protocols are foundational to local area networks (LANs) but lack built-in security, making them common targets for network-level attacks: ARP a STP Гєtoky.pptx
What Is ARP (Address Resolution Protocol)? How Does It Work? : While often associated with switches, this attack
: 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. : In an STP attack, a malicious actor
: Prevents a port from becoming a root port, ensuring the Root Bridge remains on a trusted core switch.
