DHCPwn is a tool used for testing
DHCP
IP
exhaustion attacks. It can also be used to sniff local DHCP
traffic. Overview
The
DHCP
protocol is connectionless and implemented via UDP
. These two characteristics allow this attack to be performed. Since there is no actual connection being made between the client and server we can quickly send many spoofed requests.DHCP
servers rely on the senders MAC
address to allocate IP
addresses. We can easily spoof many requests with different, fake MAC
addresses. This will eventually exhaust the server's ability to assign new IP
addresses. Depending on the server's method of releasing IP
addresses associated with a given MAC
address this attack will either be more, or less effective. For example, if a server quickly releases allocations that it doesn't receive responses from, the attack will be less effective.
This attack is typically considered to be a form of DoS.
