A simulation-based performance comparison study of a man-on-the-side attack based on ARP spoofing, its detection, and prevention

Abstract

The work describes a simulation-based performance comparison study of a Man-on-the-Side attack based on ARP spoofing, its detection, and prevention. Using Wireshark as the deep packet analyzer, we performed a Man-on-the-Side attack leveraging the ARP spoofing table, showing the real environment created to simulate a Man-on-the-Side attack. The presented sample revealed how a MotS attack could quickly get the password from an unsecured login. The two frames from the victim and the attacker's relay to the website have been displayed.
