ARP spoofing, ARP cache poisoning, or ARP poison routing, is a hacking technique it works by the attacker sending ( spoofed) Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) messages onto a local area network.

Often the attack is used as opening for other attacks, such as denial of service, session hijacking attacks and other malicious activities such as using targets router as a C&C server for Botnets to launch other potentially dangerous attacks on a wider scale. ARP spoofing is a type of MiTM (Man-in-the-middle) attack it may allow an attacker to intercept data frames on a network as well as modify the traffic and stop traffic from communicating with router or gateway.
