Examples

  • In AirTight's exploit, an attacker uses the GTK to impersonate the access point, and in essence convince another client - attached to the same access point and to the same BSSID - to accept a new default router destination, a well-known technique called Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) spoofing or poisoning.

  • The interface pointer is passed again because several interfaces might share the same output driver (e.g., several identical physical channels). "gateway" is the IP address of the neighboring IP gateway on the other end of the link; if a link-level address is required, the send routine must map this address either dynamically (e.g., with the Address Resolution Protocol, ARP) or with a static lookup table.

  • This is a similar utility to ping, but uses Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) and so the result will only be for local subnet resources, either another host or a gateway.

  • Examples of the tools used are Arpspoof, which redirects packets from a target host on the LAN to the intended host on the same LAN, by forging Address Resolution Protocol replies to the target host; SSLStrip, to hijack HTTP traffic; Ettercap, a utility for sniffing, intercepting and logging; or Wireshark, a network protocol analySer used as a packet sniffer.

  • This approach works only with short packets, but could allow ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) poisoning and possibly DNS (Domain Name Service) spoofing or poisoning.
