Asunto : ARP spoofing
Hello all,

I have a small question about ARP spoofing (with for example ettercap).

When you send arp reply telling that : * the MAC address of the gateway is me
* the MAC address of host_A is me

What happent to host_X which also receive the fake MAC address of the gateway ?

Thank a lot,

Jerome


Hi Jerome

If host_X also receive the fake MAC address of the gateway then host_X start
sending all it\'s frames to your PC but you will never send the frames back to
host_X because the ARP spoofing that you started is only between the gateway and
host_A.

Greetings! :)
Pedro
