Hi everyone.

I am looking for an actual exploit to verify the VLAN hopping issue that
was reported back in 1999.  I have found a bunch of docs and a few email
threads on it but it seems that no one has generated a working exploit.

    Just to double check, the network you are working with is using
vlan trunking on multiple switches correct?  I have commonly met the
misconception about that being an issue for VLAN's on just one switch...

        I do recall writing a small utility (which I can't find now of
course ;) which did confirm in our lab that it was possible to inject
vlan hopping frames.  I couldn't seem to find any code online either, but
just wanted to pipe up and let you know it HAD for SURE been done...


I am in the unfortunate situation where I have a client who is refusing to
believe the documentation and actually wants a live demo.  Why isn't
reading an RFC and pointing out flaws enough for people anymore??

        Once again the old axiom: "This job would be perfect if it weren't
for the damn customers." ;)
