NAME

       arpspoof - intercept packets on a switched LAN

SYNOPSIS

       arpspoof [-i interface] [-t target] host

DESCRIPTION

       arpspoof redirects packets from a target host (or all hosts) on the LAN
       intended for another host on the LAN by forging ARP replies.   This  is
       an extremely effective way of sniffing traffic on a switch.

       Kernel  IP  forwarding  (or  a  userland program which accomplishes the
       same, e.g. fragrouter(8)) must be turned on ahead of time.

OPTIONS

       -i interface
              Specify the interface to use.

       -t target
              Specify a particular host to ARP poison (if not  specified,  all
              hosts on the LAN).

       host   Specify  the host you wish to intercept packets for (usually the
              local gateway).

SEE ALSO

       dsniff(8), fragrouter(8)
