摘要：Internet is widely depends on the IP over Ethernet networks architecture. IP and Ethernet protocols uses in each Local Area Network LAN, wire and wireless. Due to the rapid expansion of the technology field this architecture reveals many shortcomings. TCP/IP suite protocols are consists from layers, each layer accomplish its jobs separately. However, these layers susceptible to different attacks. Data link layer one of the most layers targeted by the attackers. Attack at lower layer may lead to more sophisticated attacks to upper layers, like Man-in-The-Middle (MiTM), DNS spoofing and Denial of Service (DoS). These attacks applicable even with encrypted protocols such as HTTPS and SSL. In this paper we discuss the security in the Data Link Layer in IP over Ethernet networks and the attacks depend on the Address resolution protocol (ARP). Moreover, explain our proposed method to prevent address resolution protocol attacks.
