ARP spoofing, also known as ARP Cache poisoning, is a type of attack in which an attacker 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 then sent to the attacker instead. The attacker can then use this to gain access to confidential information or perform malicious activities.
