Summary

In this chapter, we learned about network attacks; the DHCP starvation attack can be performed efficiently by using our Python code. The Python code can be used for illegal DHCP servers. The MAC flooding attack can turn a switch into a hub. Port security must be enabled to mitigate the attack. The gateway disassociation attack is very easy to perform; the attacker can annoy a user by using this attack. The static entries of the gateway in the ARP cache can be a possible solution for the attack. Although torrenting is banned, it is still a big problem for small organizations. The solution presented in this chapter can be very effective against the torrenting. In next chapter, you will learn about the wireless traffic monitoring. You will learn Wireless frame, capturing of frames and Wireless attacks.
