DHCP Rogue Server Attack
DHCP Rogue Server Attack is a type of cyberattack that involves the use of a rogue DHCP server to distribute IP addresses to clients on a network. In this attack, the rogue server is set up to mimic a legitimate DHCP server and responds to DHCP requests from clients with its own IP addresses.
Clients on the network may unwittingly connect to the rogue server, at which point their traffic can be intercepted, redirected, or monitored. This can lead to a variety of negative consequences, including data theft, unauthorized access to network resources, and denial of service attacks.
To protect against DHCP Rogue Server Attacks, network administrators should implement strict DHCP security policies and regularly monitor network traffic for any signs of unauthorized DHCP servers. Additionally, it is important to educate users about the risks of connecting to unknown networks or servers, and to ensure that all network devices are kept up-to-date with the latest security patches and firmware updates.
