Arp A Stp Гєtoky.pptx -

These protocols are foundational to local area networks (LANs) but lack built-in security, making them common targets for network-level attacks:

Based on the title (ARP and STP Attacks), this presentation likely focuses on the vulnerabilities and exploitation techniques involving the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) and Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) . Key Features of ARP and STP Attacks ARP a STP Гєtoky.pptx

: In an STP attack, a malicious actor sends Bridge Protocol Data Units (BPDUs) with a higher priority (lower numerical value) to force the network to elect their device as the "Root Bridge". This causes all network traffic to flow through the attacker's device for interception. These protocols are foundational to local area networks

: Automatically disables a port if it receives an STP BPDU, preventing unauthorized devices from influencing the STP topology. : Automatically disables a port if it receives

: Both protocols can be exploited to cause Denial of Service (DoS) . For example, flooding a network with ARP requests can overwhelm device tables, while STP loops (caused by disabled or misconfigured STP) can create broadcast storms that crash the network.
