Solution

The two protocols that pose switching threats are ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) and STP (Spanning Tree Protocol).

  1. ARP: ARP is used to map an IP address to a physical (MAC) address on the local network. However, it can be exploited in an ARP spoofing (or ARP poisoning) attack, where an attacker sends fake ARP messages to associate their MAC address with the IP address of another host (such as the default gateway), causing traffic intended for that IP address to be sent to the attacker instead.

  2. STP: STP is used to prevent loops in a network topology. However, it can be exploited in an STP attack, where an attacker with access to the network can send crafted STP messages to reconfigure the network topology and cause network disruption or traffic redirection.
