Re: Spoofed IP address[Scanned]

If I remember correctly, the attacker doesn't use the same IP address... its
sends a forged ARP packet to the server to change the MAC address entry into
the server's ARP table to point to the attackers IP.

I think the solution to this is to setup a broadcast listener... a machine
that listens to Transmissions over the broadcast IP such as ARP requests.
The broadcast listener should listen out for MAC and IP spoofing.
