Packet Sniffing on Layer 2 Switched Local Area Networks
نویسنده
چکیده
Packet sniffing is a technique of monitoring network traffic. It is effective on both switched and nonswitched networks. This paper discusses several methods that result in packet sniffing on Layer 2 switched networks. Each of the sniffing methods will be explained in detail. The purpose of the paper is to show how sniffing can be accomplished on switched networks, and to understand how it can be prevented.

A NOVEL MAN-IN-THE-MIDDLE INTRUSION DETECTION SCHEME FOR SWITCHED LANs
The Man-in-the-Middle (MiM ) attack is used by attackers to perform sniffing activities in switched LAN networks. The potential damage to a network from sniffing activities can be very significant. This paper proposes a mechanism for detecting malicious hosts performing MiM attack in switched LAN networks. The proposed mechanism consists of sending trap and spoofed packets to the network’s host...
متن کاملPacket Sniffing In a Switched Environment
This paper focuses on the threat of packet sniffing in a switched environment, and briefly explores the effect in a non-switched environment. Detail is given on techniques such as "ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) spoofing", which can allow an attacker to eavesdrop on network traffic in a switched environment. Third party tools exist which permit sniffing on a switched network. The result of r...

BitTorrent is the most extensively used protocol in peer-to-peer systems. Its clients are widely spread worldwide and account for a large fraction of today’s Internet traffic. This paper will discuss potential attack that exploits a certain vulnerability of BitTorrent based systems. Code injection refers to force a code – which may be malicious to run inside another benign code, by inserting it...
متن کاملReliable communications in FTL
Local-area networks based on high-bandwidth packet-switching technology, such as ATM, show a tremendous promise in reducing communication latencies and overheads. However, the lack of ow-control and reliable delivery in ATM networks requires the higher protocol layers to deal with cell loss or corruption. While it is possible to use TCP-based communications over ATM, the protocol mismatch resul...
