In this report we examine the effects of two types of attacks on computers within a virtual network that we setup up using virtual box. These attacks are: ARP poisoning and Denial of Service attacks. In both cases we use VM1(192.168.196.2) to launch these attacks on VM2(192.168.196.2), which are connected by the virtual network with default gateway @ (192.168.196.1) .
ARP poisoning
In this section we discuss how show the effects and how to prevent it.
Attack Effect
Before launching the attack VM2 ARP cache contains the correct MAC address for the gateway as shown below:
