Based on the title (ARP and STP Attacks), this presentation likely focuses on the vulnerabilities and exploitation techniques involving the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) and Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) . Key Features of ARP and STP Attacks
What Is ARP (Address Resolution Protocol)? How Does It Work? ARP a STP Гєtoky.pptx
: Prevents a port from becoming a root port, ensuring the Root Bridge remains on a trusted core switch. Based on the title (ARP and STP Attacks),
: Automatically disables a port if it receives an STP BPDU, preventing unauthorized devices from influencing the STP topology. : Prevents a port from becoming a root
: 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.
These protocols are foundational to local area networks (LANs) but lack built-in security, making them common targets for network-level attacks:
: 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.
