The correct option is Port Stealing (A).
Explanation:
- The ethernet switches have the ability to bind the port number and MAC address of arriving frames.
- Attackers use this concept to mislead the ethernet switches.
- They increase traffic to the ethernet switch by sending forged ARP frames with the host MAC address.
- However, the ethernet switch is tricked into believing that the frames were sent by the host.
- Hence it combines the port and MAC address of forged ARP frames.
- Now attacker's switch port receives the data frames and the host cannot receive the data frames.
- This process is called port stealing. It is a man-in-the-middle attack and is usually done through LAN switches.
