arp spoofing

ARP spoofing, also known as ARP poisoning, is a network attack where an attacker sends falsified Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) messages to link their MAC address with the IP address of a legitimate device. This can allow interception, modification, or blocking of network traffic. On WindowsForum.com, users discuss detecting ARP spoofing using tools like XARP and seek ways to configure the Windows Firewall to filter malicious ARP traffic. While Linux systems may be less affected, Windows users often look for effective firewall rules or third-party solutions to prevent such attacks. The tag covers troubleshooting and prevention strategies for ARP spoofing on Windows networks.
