A default result will be disrupted communication between the victim and the gateway. This image is the same as the process above but with an attacker in the picture:Īt this point of interception, the attacker receives every piece of data meant for the victim from the gateway and vice versa. The image below illustrates a typical ARP operation: The same process is repeated vice versa with the victim, making the victim see the attacker’s IP address as the gateway address ARP replies. There is usually a DNS cache, and with ARP there is an ARP cache stored on the ARP table.ĪRP spoofing is where an attacker pretends to be another computer on a network by telling the network gateway to request for the victim’s MAC address from his/her machine IP address. In order to speed up the process and avoid a repetition, a cache is stored. One major similarity they both have is that they need to do the resolving job on new network connections. ![]() Resolving IP addresses to MAC with the ARP is similar to how the DNS helps resolve IP address to domain names.
