: 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 port, ensuring the Root Bridge remains on a trusted core switch.
: Both protocols can be exploited to cause Denial of Service (DoS) . For example, flooding a network with ARP requests can overwhelm device tables, while STP loops (caused by disabled or misconfigured STP) can create broadcast storms that crash the network. 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.
: 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. : Automatically disables a port if it receives
These protocols are foundational to local area networks (LANs) but lack built-in security, making them common targets for network-level attacks:
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 For example, flooding a network with ARP requests
