Core smart contracts for LiqWhale: A sophisticated DeFi protocol on Base featuring Shannon's Rebalancing Engine, a 7-asset automated treasury, and hyper-deflationary tokenomics

This is a MAC flooding attack scenario: the attacker poisons the switch's internal memory by overwhelming it with fake MAC address mappings. As the switch fails open into broadcast mode, the attacker’s NIC (network interface card) now receives traffic not meant for it.

ARP Spoofing is not an isolated event—it is the tactical execution of a mid-stage attacker who has already compromised a host and now seeks to manipulate local traffic routing for stealthy gain.

Layer 2 attack & defense lab in PNetLab: launch ARP poisoning/MITM, DHCP starvation + rogue DHCP, MAC flooding, and a SYN flood DoS from Kali, then stop each with the matching control (DAI, DHCP snooping, port security, ACL/SYN-flood mitigation) — with before/after proof.
