A news report says that company XYZ network was attacked by outsiders, who apparently sent a lot of spoofed ARP requests/responses from remote machines to the company’s network, trying to launch ARP cache poisoning attacks. Please comment on whether this is fake news or not.

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Mac address a physical addresses of digital devices, hard-coded to the communication interface as a unique identifier.

ARP or address resolution protocol is a layer 2 protocol used by switches to determine the MAC address of host devices by send a broadcast message through all ports in the switch.

ARP spoofing attack is done within a network, whereby an attacker changes the Mac address to receive data meant for another target host. With this, a remote access to the switch is used to establish an ARP cache poisoning attack.
