An IT administrator investigating unexpected latency on a voice-over-IP (VoIP) network segment notices that host traffic destined for the default gateway IP address () is being redirected through an unauthorized host with MAC address `02:AB:C1:23:45:67`. Inspection of network captures reveals continuous unsolicited Gratuitous Address Resolution Protocol (GARP) frames originating from IP address , associating its own physical address with . Which of the following network attack types is actively occurring on this segment?
- ARP PoisoningCevap
- BDNS Cache Poisoning
- CDHCP Spoofing
- DDNS Amplification
Cevap
ARP Poisoning is occurring because the attacker uses unsolicited GARP broadcasts to overwrite the Layer 2 cache entries of local devices.
The correct option correctly identifies ARP Poisoning because the attacker sends forged Gratuitous ARP packets to pollute the neighbor caches of local hosts, binding the gateway's IP address to the attacker's physical MAC address for traffic interception.
