Re: Tcp session hijacking

Hi Waldo,

My testing network consists of four pc and an unmanaged switch and i don't
have any router. As i said before, i poisioned all of pc and switch arp
tables with "ettercap".so, when bening pc make a tcp connection to snort pc
and we poision its arp tables, the source mac address changes to mac
address of attacker and i expect, snort detect this changing.
