A comprehensive survey of ARP Poisoning Remedies

ARP Poisoning, MITM, SPOF, DOS, Gratuitous, Session hijacking, interruption

In today’s world maintaining the security of information is a must. LAN is generally most common & very useful network in every organization. ARP is a mapping protocols from IP to MAC. ARP has two limitations. First it is a stateless protocol. And second no authentication process required for any host of the LAN. Attacker can easily exploit these vulnerabilities. There are many exiting solutions for ARP poisoning. Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attack and denial of service (DOS) on ARP are very popular attacks. This paper presents all exiting solutions of ARP poisoning. It also represents some detection techniques and some prevention techniques. It also compares some scenarios with different mechanism for example SPOF, IP flooding, message flooding etc. In this paper, we would be analysing the existing mechanisms and the works done by the researchers in early stages. Further we would be proposing a solution that would be contributing to the wealth of the domain.
