WinArp
-
sorry I'm newbie here,
anyone know WinArp software?
there is someone that use this software in my network, than all of my client can't connect to the internet… because the address that using the software act as gateway...Can anyone help me to block the software using pfsense firewall...
sorry for my bad english...

There is no way to block such an attack with pfSense.
Google for ARP poisoning how such an attack works.All you can do is monitor your network and look for signs of someone tampering.

Thanks for your answer…
so i must watch the network...it's gotta be hard work...
-
Google WinARP Watch. I haven't used it but it sounds interesting.

I'am very thankfull for your respond…
but actually i've known how to watch "the sign"...
that i want to do, is do blocking the poisining automatically...is there any ideA?
-
I'm not sure but I think some high-end switches can prevent ARP poisoning.

I am currently doing a research on how to block the arp poisoning/spoofing… and it looks like the way to do it is to use static arp tables (arp -s IP MAC)... at least for the major nodes on the network...
This is how I am going to do it...
If you have any other ideas - you are more than welcome to share them ;)

You need managed switches with MAC based ACLs - so that only certain MAC addresses can use certain ports. Of course, it's not really hard to bypass that with a little effort - the only long term solution is to log the activity and act upon it.
-
I knew about it :)… The only problem with this solution is convincing the management to renew all the switches ;)...
The other ways around could be vLANs and network segmentation... but they need time, planing and $$...So the quickest prevention in my opinion is the static ARP... The monitoring is helpful - but it is for a post attack investigation...
Any way, thanks for confirming my observations ;)

fast but not easy solution is to run PPPoE server and to make changes all clients to move over this service.
Bad - have to go to all clients if they don't know how and what to set up… and believe me they don't.
If you using DHCP, then create leases and give static IP's to all users. Create MAC filter in the router. Scan who send more than 10 ARP requests per second and lock it. (Better make new scope for IP's where you don't have any users and start it.)
Segmenting the network is the only good, cheap and long term reasonable idea. Fastest way is to put few old WRT's with OpenWRT or DD-WRT. They support VLAN-taging, MAC filtering, port managing (ugh - but don't really support Layer 3 filtering).
Next step is using L3 switches.
