Hello everybody,
I'm trying to gather some data about link-layer protocol specific attacks
and/or security flaws that can be exploited, e.g. Ethernet is prone to
sniffing and MAC address spoofing. Most of the stuff I found so far
revolves around Eth. sniffing (how to use it, how to detect it, so
on and so forth). But what about other types of attacks and/or
link-layers (e.g. broadcast-storm based DoS attack? Are Token Ring, FDDI,
ISDN, ATM flawless ?) Does anybody have some info about this ? Is the
topic superfluous/too general ?
Many thanks in advance for any reasonable comment and/or pointers,
Florian
P.S: Maybe is worth stressing more that I'm looking for vendor and
protocol independent info and not specific implementation bugs.
