ARP spoofing, also known as ARP cache poisoning, is a type of attack in which a malicious actor sends fake Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) messages over a local area network. This results in the linking of an attacker’s MAC address with the IP address of a legitimate computer or server on the network. As a result, any traffic meant for that IP address is sent to the attacker instead. An attacker can use this technique to intercept, modify, or stop the traffic meant for another host.
