Understanding Cisco Cybersecurity Operations Fundamentals (CBROPS) — Question 6

Which attack method intercepts traffic on a switched network?

Answer options

• A. denial of service
• B. ARP cache poisoning
• C. DHCP snooping
• D. command and control

Correct answer: B

Explanation

ARP cache poisoning is the correct answer because it involves sending false ARP messages on a switched network to redirect traffic to an attacker. Denial of service attacks aim to disrupt service availability, while DHCP snooping is a security feature to prevent malicious DHCP servers, and command and control refers to the management of compromised systems, not traffic interception.
