Apt Spoofing Attack
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) spoofing attack is a typical man-in-the middle attack where an attacker intercepts communication between two computers (Host B and Host A) by linking the victim's IP address with his MAC address. As a result, all the traffic that is meant for the victim, will reach the attacker first. The attacker eventually can steal sensitive information or prepare for more attacks. An attacker can intercept traffic through passive or active attacks. In a passive attack, an attacker eavesdrops or listen to traffic and this can reveal sensitive information, for example unencrypted clear text such as login usernames or identification and password. Active attack on the hand can be used to spoofing and more.

    At the destination this layer is responsible for combining the packets into their original state. This layer also checks to see if the layers are in the right order when received and not in duplicated form. If there is an error in one of the packets there is a request for that packet's retransmission. There are two protocols that sit at this layer. First, the TCP protocol connects the sender and the receiver using a socket which is determined by the IP address and port number. TCP keeps track of the packet delivery order and which ones need to be resent. UDP on the other hand is a connectionless communication and does not guarantee packet delivery between sender and receiver. Because it is connectionless the sender sends the data into the network with an IP address of the receiver and hopes it makes it to its destination. Since there is not a way of asking the sender to retransmit because of an error there is little error protection if…

    According to S. Branch (2012), in his article What is a Ping Sweep he says “A ping sweep, also called an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) sweep, is a diagnostic technique used in computing to see what range of (IP) addresses are in use by live host, which are usually computers”. Ping sweeps are not unusual, they are often used by administrators in diagnosing network issues; however, hackers also use ping sweeps to find active computers so they will know where to concentrate their attacks. This can become a serious security breach for an unprepared network. Hackers send not one ping but many packets at the same time. This tends to slow down a network. When the hackers ping sweep finds an active computer it can send request for confidential information.…

    The solicited-node address facilitates efficient querying of network nodes during address resolution. In IPv4, the ARP Request frame is sent to the MAC-level broadcast, disturbing all nodes on the network segment, including those that are not running IPv4. IPv6 uses the Neighbor Solicitation message to perform address resolution. However, instead of using the local-link scope all-nodes address as the Neighbor Solicitation message destination, which would disturb all IPv6 nodes on the local link, the solicited-node multicast address is used. The solicited-node multicast address consists of the prefix FF02::1:FF00:0/104 and the last 24-bits of the IPv6 address that is being resolved.…
