I want to test some of my more advanced switches/APs and whether they're effective at stopping ARP Spoofing, so first I'm practicing making it work.



I have Kali booting from USB, connected to the network over ethernet. The process so far has been:



echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
dhclient eth0 # just to get an IP address
arpspoof -i eth0 -t 172.16.0.2 -r 172.16.0.1


172.16.0.2 is the device I want to attack and .1 is the router.



When I open wireshark and listen to what's happening, I get almost exclusively TCP retransmissions and the target computer becomes unable to do anything at all.



Before I used dhclient, I used ifconfig eth0 172.16.0.3 netmask 255.255.255.0 but this worked even worse... With that, the target computer couldn't do anything; when I used dhclient (to set the route for me), the target could at least ping the router, but couldn't ping 8.8.8.8 any more (or anything else online).



Also, this computer sometimes replies to the ICMP ping with redirect host(New Addr: ....) from my computer's IP address.



Why is this doing this? Why are the packets not being forwarded correctly? Why are there so many TCP retransmissions? Why is my computer telling it to talk to somebody else?



For a MITM attack, this sure isn't stealthy.

  • If you are testing the switch, you really should be listening for the traffic on all ports of the switch. My best guess is that both your Kali and the intended destination are answering the ARP, the switch gets confused and transfers some packets to your Kali and some to the real destination, and hence the retransmissions. And yes, ICMP redirects are fun. ARP spoofing isn't that easy...
