‫An AARP spoof is performed replying to an Army request before the real owner of the IP address.
‫Because of the lack of authentication mechanisms in our protocol, you're able to set yourself as the
‫owner of the IP in the source machines ARP table.
‫OK, do you understand the art spoof or are cash poisoning attack?
‫Let's remember the art protocol and its principles once again.
‫Address Resolution Protocol AAFP is a network layer protocol used for mapping a network address such
‫as an IP v4 address to a physical address such as a Mac address.
‫To simulate how the ARPU mechanism works, we have a small network in the slide, a switch on top and
‫three computers connected to it.
‫Computer wants to talk to computer see.
‫It puts an ARP request onto the wire, which happens to be broadcast, essentially what it's saying
‫is who has computers, his Mac address.
‫Of course, because it's a broadcast, every system on the network hears it.
‫Does everybody respond well, what happens is that B hears that A is looking for the Mac address of
‫computers C.
‫B knows that it's not computer C and therefore does not respond to the broadcast.
‫The broadcast, the AAP request goes out to every system, but the only system that will reply is computer
‫see with an AAP reply.
‫In other words, Computer says, who has the Mac address of a computer see, and although all the workstations
‫here, the question only she replies and says, I've got the Mac address of computer C and this is what
‫it is.
‫So they are purply sends back the Mac address the computer A.
‫And each of these machines start building an ark table.
‫These are how our request and responses look in Wireshark, the first packet is in our request.
‫As you see it is broadcast and the second packet is in our reply, the owner of the IP two zero seven
‫answers with its Mac address.
‫As you see, our request is broadcast throughout the network and the first reply is trusted and accepted.
‫OK, so we have already seen the routine of the AAFP protocol.
‫A computer sends an AAP request.
‫The request is broadcast.
‫The owner of the AIP replies with an ARP reply and both sides update, there are tables.
‫Now we have an attacker in the network.
‫OK, so this is how the art spoof attack works, computer wants to talk to computer, see if the Mac
‫address table of computers see is not in the art table of computer.
‫It puts an ARP request into the wire, which happens to be broadcast.
‫This is a point where all the computers on the network get the ARPA request.
‫So although it's not his IP address, the attacker replies the AAP request before the real owner.
‫In this hour, Purply, the attacker, puts his own Mac address corresponding to the Target IP address.
‫Computer receives the art supply and stores the address paper and its art table and communication takes
‫place.
