Image by Coweater via FlickrSurprise ARP attack draws attention - Network World The metasploit site was effected by an ARP spoofing attack that shunted traffic to a defaced server that was on the same VLAN within a hosted environment. This hack shows the inherent weakness in the hosted model. Eventually network and server virtualization will (hopefully) negate most of these older attacks since providers won't have to stuff 200+ servers into a single VLAN. Of course we will introduce all kinds of new problems (yet unknown) with virtualization but I'll take those new problems over these old ones.
