In an STP manipulation attack, an attacker connects to a switch port and either directly themselves, or through the use of a rogue switch, attempts to manipulate Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) parameters to become the root bridge. Because the root bridge is responsible for calculating the spanning tree from topology changes advertised by non-root bridges, attackers see a variety of frames that they would normally not see.
