An excessive number of ARP replies would indicate what?
Sniffing attack
ARP MAC attack
Physical security problem
ARP spoofing
The correct response is an ARP spoofing attack. An ARP spoofing attack would be indicated by an excessive number of ARP requests. <== I don't understand that; why would someone send multiple ARP requests to spoof a MAC address?
ARP spoofing is a type of attack in which a malicious actor sends falsified ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) messages over a local area network. This results in the linking of an attacker's MAC address with the IP address of a legitimate computer or server on the network.
EDIT: I assumed the author was getting at MAC flooding with the MAC attack answer, but I was wrong. This is silly because you don't need to send an excess of packets just to perform ARP spoofing. It's actually a really dumb move.
Agreed. This question is poorly worded and should be revised.
Edit: should change the word "request" to "reply"
