Abstract
We introduce our tour into the wonderful world of network hacking with an ambitious chapter about layer 2 attacks. Let us recall layer 2 (see Sect. 2.4) is responsible for addressing packets in an Ethernet with the use of MAC addresses. Beside ARP attacks we will investigate how switches react on DOS attacks and how one can escape out of a VLAN environment.
