This is a simple implementation of an ARP spoofing attack. This implementation can spoof only one host's hardware address. You must provide the gateway and the host's IP address as command line arguments.

In this example you can have a look at how the EthernetII PDU is used, and how hardware addresses are resolved in practice.
