ARP, MAC, Poisoning, & WiFi by Brian Wilson
In this paper we will cover the basics on Address Resolution Protocol (ARP), Media Access Control Addresses (MAC), Wireless (WiFi), and layer 2 communications. I hope to explain how a “Man in the Middle Attack” works. The common name for this is ARP poisoning, MAC poisoning, or Spoofing. ... An attacker can just as easy spoof the ISP’s devices (Cable modem or DLS router) to get all your out bound data. ... Keep in mind that there are many free tools on the internet that perform ARP Poisoning/Spoofing.
