Question

ARP spoofing is a technique whereby an attacker sends fake ("spoofed") Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) messages onto a Local Area Network. Generally, the attacker spoofs the MAC address of a default router (for example, to make it look like the default gateway), causing any traffic meant for that IP address to be sent to the attacker instead. ARP spoofing attack is used as an opening for other attacks. What type of attack would you launch after successfully deploying ARP spoofing?
