ArpON (ARP handler inspection) is a computer software project to improve network security.

Contents

Motivation

The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) has security issues. These include the Man In The Middle (MITM) attack through ARP Spoofing, ARP Cache Poisoning or ARP Poison Routing (APR) attacks. ArpON also blocks derived attacks including Sniffing, Hijacking, Injection, Filtering attacks and complex derived attacks, as: DNS Spoofing, WEB Spoofing, Session Hijacking and SSL/TLS Hijacking attacks.

This is possible using three kinds of anti ARP Spoofing techniques. ArpON requires a daemon in every host to be authenticated. It does not modify the classic ARP standard base protocol defined by IETF, but rather sets precise policies for static networks, dynamic networks and hybrid networks.

ArpON does not use a centralized server or encryption. It uses a cooperative authentication between the hosts based on the policies that all hosts with ArpON must respect. These policies allow exactly total protection by these attacks for all hosts that use ArpON.

Features

Some of ArpON's features are:

  • Support for interfaces: Ethernet, Wireless
  • Manages the network interface with: Unplug iface, Boot OS, Hibernation OS, Suspension OS
  • Proactive based solution for connections: Point-to-Point, Point-to-Multipoint, Multipoint
  • Type of authentication for host: Cooperative between the hosts
  • Support for networks: Statically, Dynamically (DHCP), Hybrid network that is statically and dynamically
  • Retro compatible with: Classic ARP standard base protocol by IETF
  • Support of Gratuitous ARP request and reply for: Failover Cluster, Cluster with load-balancing, High-Availability (HA) Cluster
  • Blocks the Man In The Middle (MITM) attack through: ARP Spoofing, ARP Cache Poisoning, ARP Poison Routing (APR)
  • Three kinds of anti ARP Spoofing tecniques: SARPI or Static ARP Inspection, DARPI or Dynamic ARP Inspection, HARPI or Hybrid ARP Inspection
  • Blocks the derived attacks: Sniffing, Hijacking, Injection, Filtering & co attacks
  • Blocks the complex derived attacks: DNS Spoofing, WEB Spoofing, Session Hijacking, SSL/TLS Hijacking & co attacks
  • Tested against: Ettercap, Cain & Abel, DSniff, Yersinia, scapy, netcut, Metasploit, arpspoof, sslsniff, sslstrip & co tools

Static ARP Inspection

SARPI[1] detects and blocks Man In The Middle (MITM) attack through ARP Spoofing, ARP Cache Poisoning, ARP Poison Routing (APR) attacks and it is countermeasure against these attacks and the derived attacks by it, which Sniffing, Hijacking, Injection, Filtering & co attacks for more complex derived attacks, as: DNS Spoofing, WEB Spoofing, Session Hijacking and SSL/TLS Hijacking & co attacks.

SARPI manages a list with static entries, for statically configured networks without DHCP.

Dynamic ARP Inspection

DARPI[2] detects and blocks Man In The Middle (MITM) attack through ARP Spoofing, ARP Cache Poisoning, ARP Poison Routing (APR) attacks and it is countermeasure against these attacks and the derived attacks by it, which Sniffing, Hijacking, Injection, Filtering & co attacks for more complex derived attacks, as: DNS Spoofing, WEB Spoofing, Session Hijacking and SSL/TLS Hijacking attacks.

DARPI manages uniquely a list with dynamic entries so can be used in dynamically configured networks having DHCP.

Hybrid ARP Inspection

HARPI[3] detects and blocks Man In The Middle (MITM) attack through ARP Spoofing, ARP Cache Poisoning, ARP Poison Routing (APR) attacks and it is countermeasure against these attacks and the derived attacks by it, which Sniffing, Hijacking, Injection, Filtering & co attacks for more complex derived attacks, as: DNS Spoofing, WEB Spoofing, Session Hijacking and SSL/TLS Hijacking & co attacks.

HARPI manages two lists simultaneously: a list with static entries and a list with dynamic entries for networks with statically and dynamically (DHCP) configured addresses.
