Q3 Single choice

A MAC address flood attack is occurring on the Company LAN. During this attack, numerous frames are forwarded to a switch which causes the CAM table to fill to capacity.

How does this action benefit the attacker?

  • A

    All traffic is tagged with a specific VLAN ID from the VLAN of the attacker and is now viewable.

  • B

    Clients will forward packets to the attacking device, which will in turn send them to the desired destination but not before recording the traffic patterns.

  • C

    All traffic is redirected to the VLAN that the attacker used to flood the CAM table.

  • D

    All traffic is flooded out all ports and an attacker is able to capture all data.

  • E

    None of the other alternatives apply
