Execute Man-in-the-Middle Attacks

The video tutorial covers the basics of OSI layers and focuses on the ARP protocol, highlighting its vulnerabilities. It explains ARP spoofing, a type of man-in-the-middle attack, and demonstrates how to perform ARP poisoning using tools like Ettercap. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of understanding these concepts for network security.

What is the primary function of the ARP protocol?

• To route data between networks

• To manage network sessions

• To translate IP addresses to MAC addresses

• To encrypt data packets

What is the main goal of an ARP spoofing attack?

• To disable network devices

• To create a backup of network data

• To associate the attacker's MAC address with another host's IP

• To encrypt network traffic

Which of the following is a vulnerability of the ARP protocol?

• It is a stateful protocol

• It encrypts all data packets

• It automatically caches any received replies

• It requires authentication for replies

What type of attack can ARP spoofing be used as a precursor for?

• Firewall Breach

• Denial of Service

• Data Encryption

• Network Backup

Which tool is mentioned for performing ARP poisoning attacks?

• Wireshark

• Ettercap

• Nmap

• Tcpdump

What is the purpose of using Wireshark in the ARP poisoning demonstration?

• To block unauthorized access

• To create network backups

• To capture and analyze redirected traffic

• To encrypt network traffic

In the ARP poisoning attack, what change is made to the victim's machine?

• The network session is terminated

• The data packets are encrypted

• The MAC address of the default gateway is altered

• The IP address is changed
