README for arp_bomber This is arp_bomber. The ARP Bomber is intended to be used by a network administrator to identify misconfigured devices attached to an IP network, and to attempt to interfere with these devices IP service. Do not run this software on a network for which you do not have administrative responsibility. This software was created by the Network Systems Group at Princeton University's Office of Information Technology, networking at princeton dot edu. The concept was by Peter Olenick; Michael Gettes wrote the original version, and Irwin Tillman wrote the current version. It is available from: http://www.net.princeton.edu/software/arp_bomber/ This version runs on Solaris 9 on SPARC, compiled with gcc. It has not been ported to any other platform at this time. This version supports only an Ethernet interface, not FDDI. Before attempting to build the product, please review the arp_bomber.8 manual page. See especially the "Assumptions" section of the man page; the ARP Bomber was designed to function in a very narrow environment. See the file INSTALL.arp_bomber for installation instructions. Generic building and installation instructions are in INSTALL. The file NEWS describes recent user-visible changes to arp_bomber.
