  1. Q. Whit which type of Layer 2 attack can you intercept traffic that is destined for one host?
    A. MAC spoofing

  2. @Jamil
    I disagree,
    Mac Spoofing doesn’t inherently let you receive any traffic from the switch that is for another user as the switch has already built the CAM table if there is data to steal.

    CAM table overflow forces the CAM table to be filled with useless dead end MAC addresses. This forced the switch to act like a HUB when it’s dealing with unknown MAC Addresses i.e forwarding the traffic out all interfaces. If this happens then the user can now eavesdrop on all traffic for the user and any other.

    1. Tthe cam table is dynamically updated. meaning the spoof would work. the key word in the real question is 1 single host. all other options would give the traffic of the entire network (flooding)

  3. Wrong Answer : CAM overflow is done to switches to overload the cam table; MAC spoofing is stealing One host mac address .

    The same concept of this question appears in the dumps in different question as following :

    Which type of layer 2 attack enables the attacker to intercept traffic that is intended for one
    specific recipient?
    A. BPDU attack
    B. DHCP Starvation
    C. CAM table overflow
    D. MAC address spoofing

    Answer here is D
