Explanation & Hint:
Two attacks that can be caused by a rogue DHCP server are:
- DoS (Denial of Service)
- A rogue DHCP server can issue incorrect IP configurations or exhaust the IP address space of a legitimate DHCP server, preventing legitimate network clients from obtaining the correct IP configuration and thus denying them service.
- MITM (Man-in-the-Middle)
- By posing as a legitimate DHCP server, a rogue server can provide false IP configurations, including DNS and default gateway settings, to direct a client’s traffic through an attacker-controlled device. This allows the attacker to intercept, monitor, or alter the client’s network traffic.
