Selected Answer: C
An ARP poisoning attack uses a packet crafter, such as Ettercap, to broadcast unsolicited ARP reply packets. Because ARP has no security mechanism, the receiving devices trust this communication and update their MAC:IP address cache table with the spoofed address. An attacker usually tries to masquerade as the default gateway
