Or spoofing a MAC address, which I find works OK even when the host
being spoofed is connected to the same port at the same time, and works
OK when the MAC is tied to a DHCP reservation (the switch has no way of
knowing there area actually two NICS attached). In fact, a DHCP
reservation is somewhat preferable if trying to go unnoticed during an
"inside" pentest - if the intruder is spoofing hostnames as well as MAC
addresses then it's not very noticeable from a log perspective;
duplicate netBIOS name events would show up but netBIOS can be shut off.
Dynamic DNS updates can also be disabled at the windows client. DHCP
logs would show the lease being renewed by both hosts, but would
probably not look much different from the usual lease renewal activity.
Out of curiosity, what is the largest hard-coded ARP table
implementation that has been performed or observed by the list? Is it
something that is only done in SCIFs or have people implemented it in
general-purpose environments?
