Subject: [suse-security] how to detect spoofing hosts


Hello!
Let´s say i have a big LAN, with a few gateways and a firewall.
As bigger your networks get´s the more you will be conflicted with
pepole who want to "explore" your LAN.
Thats why i was wondering how you can detect spoofing hosts. And why can
spoofing be so dangerous, i couldn´t think of an good example.

Thank you!

try using arpwatch. It will detect IP-Spoofing if the attacker is unable
to spoof his MAC.
