Hi Michael! I did not test it out too much, but if you are in the same network windows will warn that the same IP-Adress is twice on the net. On Linux you see it, if you ping the router, he shows that the ping is redirected. can anyone verify this? other than that ?????

November 2002 05:27 An: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Betreff: ARP Poisoning >From security books I've read it's not hard to eavesdrop on network communication using tools like dsniff, even in a switched environment. My understanding is that it is accomplished quite easily by ARP poisoning your victim in thinking your machine's MAC as the router MAC & after interception, re-forwarding the traffic back to the true router MAC. Assuming the network environment is large (e.g., configuring port switches for specific MAC addresses not practical) & desktop security cannot be guaranteed (and thereby cannot prevent people from allowing machines to IP forward), how can one defend against other than encrypting data.
