Re: Cain & Able man in the middle attack

It depends on where you are looking to do this. Do you want to do this on
a Cisco device, on a few servers, or just a single machine? It sounds
like you might be talking about a Windows workstation. If that's the case
you can use arp -s for your gateway address and maybe any other devices on
your subnet that you talk to a lot.

You can also use something like arpwatch that will look for and notify you
of relevant changes in your arp table.
