Abstract

The world of today is now completely dependent on networks and protocols designed to make setting up these networks easier, however some of them did not take security safeguards. Usually, security team not giving more importance in the security of layer 2 of the Open System Interconnect (OSI) layers, which is the main motive of this project. Since there is no authentication mechanism provided by ARP for inbound request packets, any user may use fake ARP message and insert malicious data to corrupt the target machine’s ARP cache. ARP spoofing is used by attackers for interfering in the communication between two devices and performing a man in the middle (MITM) attack. MAC and IP addresses of the packets of data being transferred in a network will analyzed by the system for performing ARP spoofing attack detection. The system will alert the user on detecting the attack and it will restore the ARP cache table to its original form as the table will be modified when the attack occurs. The scapy library will be used for obtaining the MAC and IP addresses and the performance of the system developed will be evaluated by generating an attack on a device in which the detection system is running. The result of the approach shows that the ARP spoofing attack can be effectively detected based on the analysis of the MAC and IP addresses of the data packets.
