The ARP cache in my computer is empty. There are no entries in my ARP cache.
You must compare the below screen shot with ARP message format image at the beginning of this lesson. We can also see from the below screen shot that the Source IP Address is Each device compare the Target Protocol Address Step 5: When the computer with the IP Address This is a type of malicious attack in which a cyber criminal sends fake ARP messages to a target LAN with the intention of linking their MAC address with the IP address of a legitimate device or server within the network.
The link allows for data from the victim's computer to be sent to the attacker's computer instead of the original destination. ARP spoofing attacks can prove dangerous, as sensitive information can be passed between computers without the victims' knowledge. ARP spoofing also enables other forms of cyberattacks, including the following:. A man-in-the-middle MITM attack is a type of eavesdropping in which the cyberattacker intercepts, relays, and alters messages between two parties—who have no idea that a third party is involved—to steal information.
The attacker may try to control and manipulate the messages of one of the parties, or of both, to obtain sensitive information. Because these types of attacks use sophisticated software to mimic the style and tone of conversations—including those that are text- and voice-based—a MITM attack is difficult to intercept and thwart.
A MITM attack occurs when malware is distributed and takes control of a victim's web browser. The browser itself is not important to the attacker, but the data that the victim shares very much is because it can include usernames, passwords, account numbers, and other sensitive information shared in chats and online discussions.
Once they have control, the attacker creates a proxy between the victim and a legitimate site, usually with a fake lookalike site, to intercept any data between the victim and the legitimate site. Attackers do this with online banking and e-commerce sites to capture personal information and financial data. A denial-of-service DoS attack is one in which a cyberattacker attempts to overwhelm systems, servers, and networks with traffic to prevent users from accessing them.
A larger-scale DoS attack is known as a distributed denial-of-service DDoS attack, where a much larger number of sources are used to flood a system with traffic. These types of attacks exploit known vulnerabilities in network protocols. When a large number of packets are transmitted to a vulnerable network, the service can easily become overwhelmed and then unavailable. Session hijacking occurs when a cyberattacker steals a user's session ID, takes over that user's web session, and masquerades as that user.
