ARP PoisoningYou do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now.


Given that ARP is stateless, any machine that receives an ARP reply packet would update its own internal ARP cache, possibly overwriting any existing entries. All that is required for an ARP poisoning attack, is for a machine to send ARP reply packets to a victim machine, over and over again in order to convince the victim machine that some IP address has a certain MAC address.
Imagine a simple machine B connected to the network (IP b.b.b.b and MAC bb:bb:bb:bb:bb:bb) with the ability to reach the LAN and the Internet though a gateway provided by the DHCP server on the network that the machine joins. Initially, the ARP cache will be empty as illustrated by the arp -a command:
arp -a
Let there be an attacker A (IP a.a.a.a and MAC aa:aa:aa:aa:aa:aa) that wants to poison the victim machine B ARP cache and convince victim B that machine C (IP c.c.c.c and MAC cc:cc:cc:cc:cc) is in fact located at the address of the attacker machine A.

IP: a.a.a.a IP: b.b.b.b IP: c.c.c.c
MAC: aa:aa:aa:aa:aa:aa MAC: bb:bb:bb:bb:bb:bb MAC: cc:cc:cc:cc:cc:cc

|<------------------------------+ |

In order to do so, the attacker machine A will spam the victim machine B with ARP reply packets, even if machine B has not made any ARP requests to the network, telling machine B that machine C with IP address c.c.c.c has the MAC address a:aa:aa:aa:aa:aa instead of cc:cc:cc:cc:cc:cc.
For instance, by using nping, an ARP reply packet can be crafted on machine A and then delivered to machine B by executing the command:
nping --arp b.b.b.b --arp-type ARP-reply --arp-sender-mac aa:aa:aa:aa:aa:aa --arp-sender-ip c.c.c.c
Now, if one were to execute arp -a on machine B in order to see the ARP cache, the following output would be observed:
? (c.c.c.c) at aa:aa:aa:aa:aa:aa [ether] on eth0
where:
  • eth0 is the local LAN interface shared by all machines
Now, starting tcpdump on machine A in order to check for ICMP traffic to and from machine B:
tcpdump -vvv -i eth0 'icmp and (src b.b.b.b or dst b.b.b.b)'
and then issuing a simple ping command on machine B to machine C while observing tcmpdump on machine A reveals:
08:41:40.965396 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 13679, offset 0, flags [DF], proto ICMP (1), length 84)
b.b.b.b > c.c.c.c: ICMP echo request, id 35568, seq 55, length 64
08:41:41.989911 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 13841, offset 0, flags [DF], proto ICMP (1), length 84)
b.b.b.b > c.c.c.c: ICMP echo request, id 35568, seq 56, length 64
This shows that machine B is now convinced that machine C lies at the address of machine A and then delivers via the ping command the ICMP echo request packets to machine A. When machine A receives the packets from B, it observes that the ICMP packet contains the source IP address of machine B (b.b.b.b which is plausible) and the destination IP of machine C (c.c.c.c) such that machine A does not reply.
Nevertheless and irrespective of the source and destination addresses set in the packets by machine B, while the ARP poisoning takes effect, machine B will deliver all traffic intended for machine C to the attacker machine A.
