Flooding a switch with mac addresses is called Mac Flooding.

Macof – Ultimate Flooding Tool | Teagaisc[2020]:

#1 Simple Flooding:

As I explained before.

Using Macof can easily flood a switch with a lot of mac addresses.

Due to which the legit mac addresses find no place in the CAM table.

This enables us to monitor all the traffic.

$ macof -i eth1 -n 10

#2 Targeted Flooding:

You can even define the attack device.

$ macof -i eth1 -d 192.168.1.1

This tool is very handy for pen-testers.

Some switches don’t allow to spoof arp packets.

This tool can be used in such situations to check if the switch is overloaded.

Precautions Before Using Macof:

Here is the list of countermeasures required before using Macof. You must keep these points in mind.

• Port Security: Limits the no of MAC addresses connecting to a single port on the Switch.
• Implementation of 802.1X: Allows packet filtering rules issued by a centralized AAA server based on the dynamic learning of clients.
• MAC Filtering: Limits the no of MAC addresses to a certain extent.
