Recorded pandemics of the plague reach back to 541 A.D. and minor epidemics can still be found around the world (Plague). The plague consists of a bacterium called Yersinia pestis. This bacterium has the ability to mutate quickly and can easily destroy the immune system of the infected person‚ “it does this by injecting toxins into defense cells such as macrophages that are tasked with detecting bacterial infections.

through the bloodstream‚ and the Pneumonic plague‚ which was the most infectious type. If left untreated‚ the Bubonic plague would kill about 50% of those infected. The other two types were fatal. The Black Death was caused by a bacteria named Yersinia Pestis. This bacteria was transferred from rats‚ to fleas‚ and then onto humans. This disease spread very quickly‚ because of the high number of rats in Europe. Also‚ health was not very important back then‚ so no one really cared about how clean anything

The Yersinia tool In order to perform described Data Link layer attacks‚ we’ll be using a tool called Yersinia‚ written by the authors of this article. Yersinia is portable - written in C (using libpcap and libnet)‚ multithreaded (supports multiple users and multiple concurrent attacks). It can be used to analyse‚ edit and watch network packets and even save the traffic in pcap format. Latest Yersinia version (0.5.5.2) supports the following protocols:
