Hi all,

I want to build up a resource containing all possibilities to defend ARP
spoofing. As I think ARP spoofing is one of the most powerful, easiest
and underestimated attacks I want to know all your tricks, patches,
anything that you know/apply to defend ARP spoofing.

I know the standard things to do (like static ARP entries and so on),
what I want to know from you is something like:

-OS x has a patch y which helps preventing ARP spoofing (like antidote)
or
-OS x in version y has a small built in ARP prevention (like SunOS)
or
-Firewall/IDS x is able to prevent/detect ARP spoofing

Also welcome are new thoughts about ARP spoofing prevention (like S-ARP
or Secure Link Layer).

Give me all your information, tricks and tips, so I can build up a
complete resource.

Thanks a lot,
Chris

Using IPv6, IPsec or static ARP records can be effective methods of defence
against ARP spoofing attacks.

Don't put things together in a single LAN, which don't belong together
in a single LAN.

ARP spoofing prevented. You can close your survey.

best regards

Then use 802.1X and fixed MACs on each port.

The very best defense against ARP spoofing is to make sure your
network design and security concept does not rely on MAC addresses for
any of the following: Authentication, Authorisation, Identification.

Apparently not. The standard thing to do is to make your
network design (and security concept) immune to this kind of threat.

What makes you think the bad guy would install such a patch? How would
you enforce installation? How can you enforce that only stations with
such a patch participate in your network?

What are your talking about?

Unlikely if the spoofing entity has any brains at all. (i.e. you can
only catch complete dorks this way ;)

> Also welcome are new thoughts about ARP spoofing prevention (like S-ARP

Simply seperate your Authentication and Authorisation from Ethernet
layer parameters. This has been the way to make yourself immune against
ARP spoofing attacks for decades now. IPSEC is one of the many
technical solutions to accomplish this goal.

Give me all your money, bonds and deeds, so I can provide you with a
complete response ;-)
