![]() ![]() Note: Some SSL websites can trick users into believing that they are secure by displaying pop-up notifications to trust the certificates and the users become vulnerable. However, the victims won’t detect an ARP spoof and will continue transmission to the destinations, but the attacker will see the usernames and passwords of the victims, this is also a type of Man-in-the-Attack. Most of the articles and videos out there teach using Kali Linux OS and Virtual Machines so-called lab environments.īefore moving on, let's see how it works… Computers use a protocol called ARP (Address Resolution Protocol), when we want to access a website the ARP will broadcast a message (packet) through the network to all the machines, this packet arrives at a gateway that controls the network traffic, and the gateway will ask the ARP to find the MAC address that matches the IP address, now the messages you transmit will reach the gateway and send them to the destination and vice versa.ĪRP poisoning/spoofing is when an attacker pretends to be the gateway by sending falsified ARP messages so that the traffic is now redirected through the attacker. This is rather an interesting topic to discuss because as engineers/senior engineers/tech leads we tend to miss out on how hackers can gain access to passwords from HTTP websites even though we know that using HTTPS will secure the websites. ![]()
