Arp A Stp Гєtoky.pptx -

: 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.

What Is ARP (Address Resolution Protocol)? How Does It Work? ARP a STP Гєtoky.pptx

These protocols are foundational to local area networks (LANs) but lack built-in security, making them common targets for network-level attacks: : In an STP attack, a malicious actor

: 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. How Does It Work

: 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

: Validates ARP packets on the network to prevent spoofing.
