![]() OK, but in the title you wrote that we can detect such attacks? Only then will the victim get again true information about the gateway’s real MAC address. At some point – usually after 15-60 seconds, the victim’s OS will automatically flag entries in the MAC table as stale and update them by sending out an ARP request. If we did not do this, the attacked system would continue sending to us even after the attack. What this means is that it will send some more ARP packets, but this time with the correct MAC address of the gateway. ![]() As you can see, Metasploit says that it is RE-ARPing the victims. This is where I drew the purple box on the left in Metasploit. Then I pressed Ctrl-C in Metasploit to stop the attack. If the traffic is unencrypted, we can read along. In the part in Wireshark where I drew a red box, you can see that the ARP packets state: 192.100.200.1 (the gateway IP) is at *MAC address of our own system*Īt this point, the target system will have updated it’s ARP table with that fake information and start to send all packets to us instead of the gateway. Let’s have another look at the screenshot above. When you now have a look at Wireshark, you will see a steady stream of ARP packets that are telling the target system that the gateway’s MAC address is the *MAC address of our own system*. To finally run the attack, just execute: exploit This will list all parameters as you provided them to the ARP module. For a last check prior to the attack, type: show options mixed up DHOSTS and SHOSTS, you can just repeat the command and Metasploit will overwrite the information. Set LOCALSIP *IP address of our own system's relevant interface* To populate the necessary information in Metasploit, type: set DHOSTS *IP address of the attacked system* What Metasploit will then do is just send out a continuous stream that tells the target system that the MAC address of the gateway is “XYZ”, where XYZ is actually the MAC address of our own system.
