DHCP Starvation Attack-infosavvy

DHCP Starvation Attack

In a DHCP starvation attack, an attacker floods the DHCP server by sending a large number of DHCP requests and uses all of the available IP addresses that the DHCP server can issue. As a result, the server cannot issue any longer IP addresses, resulting in Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks, due to this issue, valid users cannot obtain or renew their IP addresses, and thus fail to access their network. An attacker broadcasts DHCP requests with spoofed MAC addresses with the help of tools like Gobbler.
