Detection of ARP Spoofing Attack by using ETTERCAP

Abstract

In our day-to-day life, we share or communicate over the internet in so many ways but to share or communicate we use some set of protocols so that we can send the information. ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) is one of them to communicate over the internet, but there are some chances of being spoofed by using the Address Resolution Protocol as attackers can steal your sensitive information through a Man-In-the-Middle attack. In this attack, a third person can be impersonated or spoofed the IP and we call it an IP spoofing attack. Therefore, to detect this attack we have used the Ettercap tool for detecting the ARP spoofing. In this detection method, we gave an approach in which Ettercap monitors the network and it is a modified Python-based script that is capable of sniffing the ARP packet transmission between the clients. Therefore, Ettercap is used for detecting ARP spoofing which is experimentally studied.
