1.

ARP Flooding

Several viruses send a lot of ARP traffic in an attempt to discover hosts to infect.

A lot of ARP traffic from a single machine, looking for MAC addresses for many of the IP addresses on your local network, there might be a virus on your network that's scanning your network for machines to infect. It's been claimed that the Wootbot virus does this.

2.

ARP Spoofing

      • Attacker will know about all data transferring on network

      • An attacker in a network may reply to all ARP requests with its own MAC address

      • Attacker will maintain its table with actual addresses

      • Every host will send data to the attacker

      • Attacker will maintain two way transmission between devices, by forwarding and replying all data through itself

What statement describes the function of the Address Resolution Protocol?

An ñARPî or Address Resolution Protocol is a protocol that is used in telecommunications for a resolution of network layer addresses into link layer addresses, which is vital in multiple access networks. It is also the name of the program that is used when manipulating addresses in most operating systems. The Address Resolution Protocol is used to convert an IP address to a physical address such as an Ethernet Address.
