DHCP Classes of Attacks - Starvation

DHCP Starvation Attack – The goal of this attack is to create a DoS for connecting clients

DHCP starvation attacks require an attack tool such as Gobbler

Gobbler has the ability to look at the entire scope of leasable IP addresses and tries to lease them all

Specifically, it creates DHCP discovery messages with bogus MAC addresses

Two types of DHCP attacks are DHCP starvation & DHCP spoofing

Both attacks are mitigated by implementing DHCP snooping
