A.
Arp Poisoning

B.
Modify Traffic in transit

C.
Used to perform man-in-the-middle attack

D.
Physically modify the network gateway

E.
Protect the identity of the attacker by masking the DHCP address

F.
Can access most network devices

Explanation:
In DHCP spoofing attacks, the attacker takes over the DHCP server role and can serve IP
addresses and his IP address as default gateway. By doing that he performs a man-in-themiddle attack, and because all the traffic passes through his computer he can modify traffic in
transit and he physically changed the default gateway.

      DHCP spoofing relies on ARP poisoning.

      Read a little more within your own reference link:
      “you can set up a rogue DHCP server, send out bogus ARP packets telling servers that you are the DHCP server, then hand out DHCP reservations that suit your needs.” Which is a Man-in-the-middle attack.

      ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) Poisoning (MITM) Attack: Scenario 2 and 3 explain how DHCP spoofing uses ARP poisoning to accomplish a MITM attack.

    Also- how would a protocol PHYSICALLY modify a gateway? Everything these attacks do is to manipulate- logical or configurable changes.

    Neither of these attacks can physically shut down a router or a switch- thats not their design.
