ethernet traffic

In the realm of network management, staying updated with the activities and occurrences on your network can be a daunting task. However, tools like arpwatch make it considerably easier. Arpwatch is a classic tool for Linux environments that monitors Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) traffic on a network interface. This utility logs ARP activity like changing IP addresses at Ethernet (MAC) addresses and can be very helpful in detecting abnormal ARP behavior often associated with network attacks or misconfigurations. Whether you're a network administrator or a security enthusiast, arpwatch is an indispensable tool in your arsenal for monitoring how devices on your network interact with each other.
