Other protocols mentioned in this article are also RFCs: the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is RFC 826; the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) was originally RFC 1531 but has been superseded twice.
Examples of the tools used are Arpspoof, which redirects packets from a target host on the LAN to the intended host on the same LAN, by forging Address Resolution Protocol replies to the target host; SSLStrip, to hijack HTTP traffic; Ettercap, a utility for sniffing, intercepting and logging; or Wireshark, a network protocol analyser used as a packet sniffer.
Assuming basic knowledge of IP addressing and routing, this guide explains how the TCP/IP protocol suite is supported by Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista, with chapters on address resolution protocol, internet group management, TCP data flow, the dynamic host configuration protocol, the domain name system, and internet protocol security.
