Spoofing is a cyberattack where scammer masks their identity to trick you into giving up personal data or clicking on malicious links. Read more in this blog.
However, if exploited, ARP protocol can cause serious threats. ARP spoofing is the most concerning one. Learn more about this attack in this post.
Address Resolution Protocol.An ARP spoofing attack occurs when an attacker sends false ARP messages over a local area network (LAN). This links the attacker'smedia access control addresswith the IP address of a legitimate computer or server on the network. This occurs at the data link layer i...
ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) can also be defined as a communication protocol used to map a network layer address (such as an IP address) to a link-layer address (such as a MAC address). What is ARP Spoofing or Poisoning? ARP Poisoning, also known as ARP Spoofing, is a type of ...

How to detect IP spoofing It is difficult for end-users to detect IP spoofing, which is what makes it so dangerous. This is because IP spoof attacks are carried out at the network layers – i.e., Layer 3 of the Open System Interconnection communications model. This doesn’t leave externa...
6. ARP Spoofing Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) spoofing is frequently used to modify or steal data for in-session hijacking. It’s also referred to as ARP poisoning or ARP cache poisoning. Scammers usually do this by linking their media access control to an IP address so they can interce...
Domain name server (DNS) spoofing: This will modify the source IP of the DNS to redirect a domain name to a different IP. Address resolution protocol (ARP) spoofing: An ARP spoofing attempt is one of the more complex attacks. It involves linking a computer’s media access control (MAC) ...
Because spoofing is based on deception, it can be challenging to prevent and detect spoofing attacks. That’s why it’s so important to protect yourself with strong, reliable internet security.Avast Oneconstantly scans for incoming threats and keeps you protected against the kinds of phishing, mal...
1. ARP Spoofing This type of attack exploits the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP). ARP is used to map IP addresses to MAC addresses on a local area network (LAN). In this type of attack, the attacker sends fake ARP messages to trick the devices on the network into associating their IP...
