Rick has noticed that attackers spoofed IP addresses to cause them to resolve a different hardware address. The manipulation has shifted the tables maintained by the default gateway for the local network, causing data destined for one specific MAC address to now be routed elsewhere. Which of the following types of attack is this?

ARP stands for Address Resolution Protocol. ARP Poisoning, also known as ARP Spoofing, is a type of cyber attack that involves manipulating the ARP cache of a network device to intercept network traffic. When two devices communicate on a network, they use ARP to map the MAC address of a device to its corresponding IP address. An attacker can use ARP Poisoning to send forged ARP messages to other devices on the network, tricking them into associating the attacker's MAC address with the IP address of a legitimate device. This effectively redirects network traffic to the attacker's device, allowing them to eavesdrop on or modify the communication between the two legitimate devices. ARP Poisoning can be prevented by implementing measures such as using static ARP tables, enabling port security, and deploying intrusion detection and prevention systems.
