The attack which is conducted by an attacker changing the MAC address of their host to match that of the target host on the network, thereby confusing the network switch to forward the target's data to both hosts is which of the following?
MAC flooding
MAC duplication
MAC Spamming
ARP spoofing
In a MAC duplication attack, the attacker changes their host's MAC address to duplicate the MAC address of the target whose traffic they wish to capture. The switch, confused by the duplicate MAC, sends duplicate traffic to both ports. ARP spoofing relies on sending fictitious ARP replies to change MAC to IP address mappings stored by a host. In a MAC flooding attack, a switch is saturated by fictitious MAC address data causing it to fail in an open state, and in essence becomes a hub.
