- 1Packages are routed to a specific IP these days, but you can also spoof it. You can sent special packages to distort this routing. owasp.org/index.php/Man-in-the-middle_attack en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARP_spoofingD. Schalla– D. Schalla2014-06-05 13:01:30 +00:00Commented Jun 5, 2014 at 13:01
- 3Mac addresses (Layer 2) are used to direct packets on a local network. (IP addresses are looked at by routers and not hubs or switches). Hubs forward packets to everyone, switches only forward packets to the intended target (or ARP spoofed one) that the switch has learnt. Routers with built in wifi will almost certainly have switches and not hubs built into them.Stu W– Stu W2014-06-05 15:14:57 +00:00Commented Jun 5, 2014 at 15:14

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. web-application), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
