Netopia 6.3 manual Login Failures, MAC Address Spoofing

Section 3 General

Login Failures

The Cayman software provides the means for assigning passwords to the Admin or User accounts to control access to the Gateway. Any attempts to login are given three chances to enter a valid password. The Security Mon- itoring software records instances where the user fails to enter a valid pass- word.

Logged information includes:

IP source address	Number of attempts
Attempt count	Time at last attempt

MAC Address Spoofing

A MAC (Media Access Control) Address Spoofing Attack can be identified based on the IP-interface where the illegitimate packet came from. If the interface that the spoofed packet arrives on does not have the same MAC address as the legitimate entry in the routing table, then an attack is logged.

Logged information includes:

IP source address	Number of attempts
IP interface	Time at last attempt
