What is the
MITRE ATT&CK Framework?
A taxonomy of techniques, tactics and procedures (TTPs) known to be used by attackers
What is ARP Spoofing?
Process of sending gratuitous ARP responses to get systems on a local network to send traffic to the system performing the ARP spoofing
Address Resolution Protocol Spoofing
This is a Man in The Middle (MitM) Attack
What is Credential Stuffing?
- Using collections of known usernames and passwords to break into systems.
- This doesn’t produce the same problem as brute-forcing network requests, which would generate a lot of failed attempts on a single account
