dhcpwn
Dhcpwn is a command-line tool that can be used to perform DHCP-based attacks on a network. DHCP, which stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, is a network protocol that allows devices to obtain IP addresses and other network configuration settings automatically.
Dhcpwn can be used to discover rogue DHCP servers on a network, perform DHCP starvation attacks to exhaust the available IP addresses, and launch man-in-the-middle attacks on DHCP clients. With these capabilities, it can be used to both disrupt network operations and intercept network traffic.
It is important to note that Dhcpwn should only be used ethically and with proper authorization. Unauthorized use of this tool can have serious consequences and may be illegal. It is designed to be utilized by network administrators and security professionals for testing and securing network infrastructures.
