What can be a direct effect of ARP poisoning?
The most direct impact of an ARP Poisoning attack is that traffic destined for one or more hosts on the local network will instead be steered to a destination of the attacker’s choosing. The traffic could be sent to the attacker’s machine or sent to a nonexistent location.
How can I use ettercap to do ARP poisoning?
Click “Sniff->Unified Sniffing”. It will list the available network interface as shown below. Choose the one which you want to use for ARP Poisoning. Once you have chosen the interface the following window will open: The next step is to add the target list for performing the ARP poisoning.
Can you use ettercap in a production environment?
Using Ettercap in a production environment is not advisable. Launch Ettercap using the following command in the 122 machine. Click “Sniff->Unified Sniffing”. It will list the available network interface as shown below. Choose the one which you want to use for ARP Poisoning.
How can I poison a MITM with ARP?
