What is an objective of a DHCP spoofing attack?
- to intercept DHCP messages and alter the information before sending to DHCP clients
- to gain illegal access to a DHCP server and modify its configuration
- to provide false DNS server addresses to DHCP clients so that visits to a legitimate web server are directed to a fake server
- to attack a DHCP server and make it unable to provide valid IP addresses to DHCP clients
Explanation: In DHCP spoofing attacks, an attacker configures a fake DHCP server on the network to provide false DNS server addresses to clients. When a client tries to access a server using a server domain name (for example, a web server), the name to IP resolution request is sent to a DNS server that is under the control of the attacker, which provides the IP address of a fake server.
