How to Perform Spoofing in Wireshark?
In this section, we will perform the detailed step-by-step process to perform Spoofing in Wireshark Tool.
Step 1: Capture ARP Traffic
Open Wireshark, and choose the network interface. Start capturing by clicking the interface and selecting “Start.”

Step 2: Filter for ARP Traffic
Apply the ARP filter in the display filter bar to focus on ARP packets.

Filtering ARP Packets
Step 3: Analyze ARP Requests and Replies:
Observe normal ARP traffic—devices asking for and receiving MAC addresses.
Analyze ARP Packet requests
- Identify Inconsistencies: Look for anomalies like multiple devices responding to one ARP request or multiple MACs for one IP.
- Check Gratuitous ARP: Detect gratuitous ARP packets—devices announcing MAC for an IP without prompting.
- Compare with Network Topology: Understand legitimate devices and MAC addresses; compare with observed ARP responses.
wireshark sniffing and spoofing
Wireshark is an open-source packet analyzer that enables real-time data inspection. It enables network sniffing, which analyzes traffic for device communication insights. The ethical and legal implications of network sniffing are discussed, emphasizing responsible usage. Spoofing, a manipulation of network data, can compromise network security through techniques like ARP, DNS, and IP spoofing.
