The address resolution protocol (ARP) is the fundamental method of data communication in which packets are sent across the network between client and server nodes. However, the lack of authentication on the node side can allow the attackers to spoof the communication and redirect the data, leading to an ARP poisoning attack. With increased network communication and data exchange comes the threat of increased cyberattacks. Different strategies for detection of an ARP spoofing attack at an individual and organizational level are proposed in this paper. We have placed an ARP spoof attack on the client machine and detected the packet traffic. Detection takes place using two different methods: Python algorithm and other software tools. Along with potential defenses against such attacks, methods for securing the computer in the case of ARP spoofing have been studied and highlighted.
