Abstract

The Address Resolution Protocol(ARP) is used to associate a three-layer(Network layer) address(such as an IP address) with a two-layer(Data Link layer) address(MAC address).Because of the defects of ARP itself,there are very serious problems in the use of ARP,such as peculating IP(Internal Protocol) address and ARP spoofing.This article introduces the basic theory of ARP,mainly analyses the principles of some network attacks and the attacking methods by using ARP security flaw,and puts forward countermeasures against ARP attacks.
