Step-by-Step Guide to Demonstrating Arp- Spoofing and Man-in-the-Middle Attacks in the Lab, by Aden Hawsh

Arp-spoofing and Man-in-the-Middle attack An ARP spoofing cyberattack happens when an attacker uses the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) to intercept communication between two parties, such as a user and a device, on a local area network (LAN). This attack is especially dangerous in the context of the Internet of Things (IoT), as it has the potential to undermine the entire network's security. Attackers can eavesdrop on the transmission or even manipulate the data being delivered by presenting themselves as a man-in-the-middle using ARP spoofing, putting both data integrity and confidentiality at risk. ARP spoofing attacks on IoT devices entail multiple important components. Initially, the attacker discovers the target IoT devices and then manipulates the network's ARP signals to make their machine look like the legitimate gateway or device. This allows the attacker to intercept and perhaps change data sent between the IoT device and other netw...
