Description: monitor ARP changes in ethernet networks
The arpalert daemon is a security tool that listens on a network interface
(without using 'promiscuous' mode) and catches all conversations
of MAC address to IP request to alert of possibility of ARP spoofing attack.
.
It compares the mac addresses it detected with a pre-configured list of
authorized MAC addresses. If the MAC is not in list, arpalert launches a
pre-defined user script with the MAC address and IP address as parameters.
.
If you need to use a list of authorized MAC addresses, this package should
suit your needs, otherwise arpwatch may be also fine.
