Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In an ARP cache poisoning attack, the attacker sends forged ARP messages onto the network. This leads to the ARP cache being updated with incorrect mappings, specifically, the MAC address (EUI-48 address) of the attacker's machine instead of the legitimate device. This allows the attacker to intercept, modify, or block data intended for the legitimate recipient, effectively positioning themselves as a man-in-the-middle (MITM).
