//////////////////////////////////// /// MAC FLOODING/SPOOFING ATTACK /// //////////////////////////////////// Overview: The program "KillSwitch" simulates a MAC Flooding (aka: MAC Spoofing) attack on a switched network. The idea of this attack is that the attacker will generate a large overhead of Ethernet Frames. Each frame contains a randomly generated (spoofed) MAC address. Network Switches have something called a "MAC Table" which stores information about the MAC Addresses/Ethernet-interfaces belonging to connected devices on a network. The idea is simple: overload the MAC Table with a barrage of spoofed MAC addresses until the table cannot hold anymore. At this point, the switch will go into a Broadcast-Mode and any time it receives data from a device, instead of switching it to the recipient device, it send the data to ALL devices connected to the switch.
