Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
True/False-ARP spoofing is a technique that is used to send fake ARP messages to other hosts in the LAN with the intent of incorrectly associating an IP and MAC address.
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Network administrators can use two techniques to detect ARP spoofing. Passive: Monitor ARP traffic and look for mapping inconsistencies. Active: Inject falsified ARP packets into the network. A spoofing attack like this helps you identify weak points in your system.

Detailed explanation-2: -What Is ARP Spoofing? ARP spoofing is a type of attack in which a malicious actor sends falsified ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) messages over a local area network. This results in the linking of an attacker’s MAC address with the IP address of a legitimate computer or server on the network.

Detailed explanation-3: -Tools for Preventing ARP Spoofing Packet-filtering firewalls flag data packets from an address that is found twice in the network, as this duplication suggests the presence of someone disguising themselves as another host. Encryption, however, is probably the most important way to protect against an ARP attack.
