ArpON (ARP handler inspection) [1] is a computer software project to improve network security. [2] It has attracted interest among network managers [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] and academic researchers [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] and is frequently cited as a means of protecting against ARP-based attacks. [14] [15] [16]

Motivation

The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) has many security issues. These include the Man In The Middle (MITM) attack through the ARP spoofing, [17] ARP cache poisoning, [18] [19] [20] Denial of Service [21] and ARP poison routing attacks. [22] [23] [24]

Solution

ArpON is a host-based solution that makes the ARP secure and avoids the man-in-the-middle attack through ARP spoofing, ARP cache poisoning or ARP poison routing. This is possible using three kinds of anti-ARP-spoofing techniques:

The goal of ArpON is therefore to provide a secure and efficient network daemon that provides the SARPI, DARPI and HARPI anti-ARP-spoofing technique, thus making the ARP standardized protocol secure from any foreign intrusion.[ citation needed ]
