Re: Stopping Arp poison attacks

[Taylan KIRAN <taylankiran () yahoo com>]

I dont know if anybody suggest arpwatch.
 by using arpwatch you can catch arp poisoning
attacks,
manual ip assignment, ip conflicts easily.
static arp entries also can be used for critical
nodes(servers and routers). but as i know(I am not
sure) static arp entry is not solution for windows
machines.
