ARP Virus Attack Prevention
1.
ARP Issue and Information
Recently, many cyber cafes in China experienced disconnection (partially or totally) for a
short period of time, but connection is resumed quickly. This is caused by the clash with MAC
address. When virus-contained MAC mirrors to such NAT equipments as host devices, there is
complete disconnection within the network. If it mirrors to other devices of the network, only
devices of this affected network have problems. This happens mostly to legendary games
especially those with private servers. Evidently, the network is attacked by ARP, which aims to
crack the encryption method. By doing so, they hackers may intercept the packet data and user
information through the analysis of the game's communication protocol. Through the spread of
this virus, the detailed information of the game players within the local network can be obtained.
Their account and information are stolen. The following describes how to prevent such virus
attack.
First, let us get down to the definition of ARP (Address Resolution Protocol). In LAN, what is
actually transmitted is "frame", in which there is MAC address of the destination host device.
So-called “Address Analysis” refers to the transferring process of the target IP address into the
target MAC address before the host sends out the frame. The basic function of ARP protocol aims
to inquire the MAC address of the target equipment via the IP address of the target equipment
so as to facilitate the communications.
The Working Principle of ARP Protocol:
Computers with TCP/IP protocol have an ARP
cache, in which the IP address corresponds to the MAC address (as illustrated).

For example, host A (192.168.1.5) transmits data to Host B (192.168.1.1) .Transmitting
data, Host A searches for the destination IP address from the ARP Cache. If it is located, MAC
