Man-in-the-Middle Attacks

Hey Craig,
Oh sure.  Arpwatch is just a database of seen requests and responses,
And when there is a change in respondents, it generates a syslog message, or email.

If you use radump() to printout the arp data your probes see, you can build a cheapo arpwatch with perl / mysql / whatever.

So try something like this:
   radump -r data.file -s suser:64 duser:64 -  \
           arp and src pkts 1 and dst pkts 1

This should provide you with a tcpdump() like output of the arp transactions, and from there you can keep track of the ethernet / IP addr pairs, yourself, looking for changes.

I'm just coming back from some surgery, and there is a bit of work in the pipe;  rapolicy() reworking, more memory leaks with radium and some of the labels, but we should get rarpwatch() going again, along with some of the other half done examples.  I tried to use raports() the other day, and it barfed on me.  Not good.

The old arpwatch, was a good program.  If you can think of other features to put in, we can build a better arpwatch.

Hope all is most excellent,

Carter
