The Complete Ethical Hacking Bootcamp: Beginner To Advanced - ARP Protocol Basics

This video tutorial is part of an ethical hacking course, focusing on the Man in the Middle (MITM) attack. It begins with an introduction to the attack, explaining how it interferes with the connection between a victim and a router. The tutorial then delves into the ARP protocol, which is crucial for network discovery and MITM attacks. It covers the basics of ARP requests and responses, demonstrating how to use command line tools to view ARP tables and packet structures. The video concludes with an introduction to ARP spoofing, setting the stage for practical demonstrations in future lessons.
