Description-en: Versatile ARP defense daemon
ArpON can defend a host against some ARP attacks such as ARP spoofing, ARP
cache poisoning and ARP poison routing. Attackers can use these techniques to
redirect traffic in local networks and execute Man in the Middle (MITM)
attacks.
.
ArpON runs as a daemon in user space. When enabled on an interface, it
disables some aspects of Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) handling by the
Linux kernel and instead handles ARP messages itself and maintains the ARP
neighbor cache. It has three modes of operation to support different ways of
assigning IPv4 addresses in the local network: statically, dynamically using
DHCP or a combination of both.
