RE: possible arp spoofing

Go to your router and put this mac address 0:c0:26:2b:d0:1d in your black hole list. See who complains and then smack them around, find out what they've been doing with their IP address and tell them not to do that any more. It almost looks like someone is parking themselves as a static IP smack in the middle of your DHCP lease space. I don't know about your network, but on mine that's generally cause for public humiliation and physical beatings :)

2 cents,

  I don't think it's "arp spoofing", which would be
somebody changing their MAC address.  It looks, from
your description, like the machine with MAC address
00:c0:26:2b:d0:1d is changing its IP address, and
colliding with IP addresses in use by other clients.

 Subject: possible arp spoofing


 i've got a bunch of email from arpwatch telling me
 that there are flip flop and changing ethernet
 address. does this mean there's an arp spoofing going
 on in my network?? how do i stop this?? these users
 also reported that their operating system told them on
 their screen there's another machine using the same
 ip# as theirs and their connection to the network was
 also disconnected.

 i notice that most of the mac address flip flop are
 using the same mac address which is 0:c0:26:2b:d0:1d.

 here's the arpwatch email sample :
 1.
  hostname: CAHYADI
           ip address: 192.168.5.44
     ethernet address: 0:80:48:1e:27:32
      ethernet vendor: Compex, used by Commodore and
 DEC at least
 old ethernet address: 0:c0:26:2b:d0:1d
  old ethernet vendor: <unknown>
            timestamp: Monday, November 3, 2003
 14:21:06 +0700
   previous timestamp: Monday, November 3, 2003
 14:13:56 +0700
                delta: 7 minutes

 2.
 hostname: DENY
           ip address: 192.168.5.105
     ethernet address: 0:2:b3:17:81:33
 >      ethernet vendor: <unknown>
 > old ethernet address: 0:c0:26:2b:d0:1d
  old ethernet vendor: <unknown>
            timestamp: Monday, November 3, 2003
 14:16:22 +0700
   previous timestamp: Monday, November 3, 2003
 14:15:22 +0700
                delta: 1 minute

 there are many more..... please help...

 regards,
 gregor
