      Does anyone have any suggestions to watch for arp attacks that create a man-in-the-middle situation by directing all traffic to a single host? Cain an abel is a pain in my a$$. Right now I have a computer with a membership in every vlan watching for arp broadcast floods so I can track them.

        Hi,

        Have you tried arpwatch? It's quite simple and straight.

        cheers,

          Yeah, that's what it's come down to. Arpfetch to watch arp tables on routers.

            Hi,

            Good for you. Keep in mind that, suppose you're using snmp then it will consume some significant resources and sometime kills router/switch so easily. I killed my cisco several times while fetching arp cache :P so careful.

            cheers,

              Yeah, been keeping an eye on that because I already retrieve traffic statistics from them using SNMP.
