What is a DHCP starvation attack?
An attack that is distributing fake IP Addresses from rogue DHCP server
An attack that works by broadcasting DHCP requests with spoofed MAC addresses
An attack that works by broadcasting DHCP requests with spoofed IP address
A DHCP starvation attack works by broadcasting DHCP requests with spoofed MAC addresses. This is easily achieved with attack tools such as “the gobbler”. If enough requests are sent, the network attacker can exhaust the address space available to the DHCP servers for a period of time. This is a simple resource starvation attack just like a synchronization (SYN) flood attack. Network attackers can then set up a rogue DHCP server on their system and respond to new DHCP requests from clients on the network.
