Arp A Stp Гєtoky.pptx May 2026

: Prevents a port from becoming a root port, ensuring the Root Bridge remains on a trusted core switch.

: Attackers send falsified ARP messages to a local network to link their MAC address with the IP address of a legitimate server or gateway. This allows them to intercept, modify, or stop data in transit, often facilitating Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attacks. ARP a STP Гєtoky.pptx

These protocols are foundational to local area networks (LANs) but lack built-in security, making them common targets for network-level attacks: : Prevents a port from becoming a root

: Both protocols can be exploited to cause Denial of Service (DoS) . For example, flooding a network with ARP requests can overwhelm device tables, while STP loops (caused by disabled or misconfigured STP) can create broadcast storms that crash the network. These protocols are foundational to local area networks

: While often associated with switches, this attack fills a switch's CAM table with fake MAC addresses, forcing it to act like a hub and broadcast all traffic to every port, where an attacker can sniff it. Common Mitigations
