A

Layer 2 attacks

25
Q

What is Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) poisoning?

A

Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) poisoning is a network attack where the attacker sends falsified ARP messages to associate the attacker’s MAC address with the IP address of another network device, redirecting traffic or facilitating eavesdropping.

26
Q

What term describes a network attack where falsified ARP messages are used to associate the attacker’s MAC address with the IP address of another device?

A

Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) poisoning

27
Q

What is MAC flooding?

A

MAC flooding is a network attack where the attacker floods the switch’s MAC address table with fake MAC addresses, causing the switch to enter into fail-open mode and forward traffic to all ports, facilitating eavesdropping or network disruption.

28
Q

What term describes a network attack where the switch’s MAC address table is flooded with fake MAC addresses?

A

Media access control (MAC) flooding

29
Q

What is MAC cloning?

A

30
Q

What term describes the process of mimicking the MAC address of another device?

A

MAC cloning

31
Q

What is the Domain name system (DNS)?

A
