ARP Spoofing

This is where the meat of the attack takes place. Address Resolution Protocol, or ARP, is what is responsible for mapping IP addresses to MAC addresses. These mappings are stored in an ARP table on each machine connected to the network. The ARP spoofing attack sends out false information to the machine you’re attacking, repeatedlyContinue reading “ARP Spoofing”

Identify Target and Gateway IP Addresses using nmap

On an actual penetration test you’d probably already know both of these addresses as a result of mapping the network. But for the sake of anyone testing this at home, fire up nmap and perform a ping-sweep of the subnet. In a typical /24 network, using the -T4 flag for a slightly faster scan.
