performing-arp-spoofing-attack-simulation
Simulates ARP spoofing/cache-poisoning attacks in authorized lab or pentest environments using arpspoof, Ettercap, and Scapy to demonstrate man-in-the-middle risk and validate Dynamic ARP Inspection, port security, and network monitoring detections. Use when testing whether switches, IDS/IPS, or a SIEM detect ARP spoofing under written authorization; do not use on production networks without explicit approval.

# Performing ARP Spoofing Attack Simulation
## When to Use
- Testing whether network switches and infrastructure properly implement Dynamic ARP Inspection (DAI)
- Demonstrating man-in-the-middle attack risks to stakeholders during authorized security assessments
- Validating that network monitoring tools (IDS/IPS, SIEM) detect ARP cache poisoning attempts
- Assessing the effectiveness of port security, 802.1X, and VLAN segmentation controls
- Training SOC analysts to recognize ARP spoofing indicators in network traffic
**Do not use** on production networks without explicit written authorization and a rollback plan, against networks carrying critical or life-safety traffic, or as a denial-of-service attack vector.
## Prerequisites
- Written authorization specifying in-scope network segments for ARP spoofing simulation
