Passive network monitoring with arpwatch

arpwatch is a lightweight network monitoring tool used to passively observe ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) packets on a local network. It was developed to to track the mapping between IP and MAC address. A change in this mapping is generally an indicator of a MAC spoofing or arp cache poisoning attack. In this situation, arpwatch can send an email alert to administrators.
