XArp – Advanced ARP Spoofing Detection
XArp performs advanced ARP spoofing detection mechanisms – made to secure your network.
Are you Ready to Take Back Control of YOUR Network?
XArp is a security application that uses advanced techniques to detect ARP based attacks. Using active and passive modules XArp detects hackers inside your network. ARP attacks allow an attacker to silently eavesdrop or manipulate all your data that is sent over the network. This include documents, emails, or VoiceIP conversations. ARP spoofing attacks go undetected by firewalls and operating system security: Firewalls do not protect you against ARP based attack.

Installation
sudo apt-get install libwxgtk2.8-0 libxerces-c3.1 libpcap0.8 libc6 menu arptables
Then, install XArp using the downloaded deb-package:
sudo dpkg -i xarp.deb
Run XArp from the start menu, or from the command line using:
sudo xarp
If you get a problem regarding
libwxgtk2.8-0
(e.g. when you are on Ubuntu 16) do the following to get the package:
echo "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty main universe" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/trusty-copies.list
sudo apt update
sudo apt install libwxgtk2.8-0
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/trusty-copies.list
sudo apt update
Then continue with the instructions above.

parameter. This works for both the Windows and Ubuntu version.
SUPPORT / FAQ
The security of your network is our #1 priority. XArp is developed by network security specialists with the highest standards.
The real answer: XArp uses advanced techniques to detect ARP-attacks like ARP-spoofing. These are easily to launch attacks that have high impact and elude firewalls.
Static ARP tables: Impossible administrative overhead. Secure distribution of tables not possible. Depending on OS version static ARP-entries are being overwritten.
Switches: Absolutely no security. The Port-Security Feature on high-end switches can easily be tricked
VLANs: Can’t put every machine into a VLAN. VLANs have their own set of security problems.
Encryption: Can only encrypt from IP-layer upwards. Man-in-the-middle attacks on secured connections have been shown.
Firewalls: See FAQ entry above.
> sc config npf start= auto
Please note that the space after the = is mandatory. This command will startup the Winpcap driver automatically with administrative rights when you system starts. You can now use XArp from an account with no administrative rights.
E.g. use hMailServer – an open source and free mail server for Windows OS. After installation set up the mailserver:
– As “Domain” setting e.g. use “xarp-alerts.localhost”
– The new domain will appear on the left side. Select “Accounts” and set up a new email address, e.g. “alerts”. The email address will be “alerts@xarp-alerts.localhost”. Set up a password, you will use it for configuring XArp.
– Configure hMailServer to only allow connections from the local machine: Settings -> Advanced -> IP Ranges -> Internet, remove the checkboxes unter “Allow connections”.
– Configure hMailServer to allow PLAIN authentication: Settings -> Protocols -> SMTP -> RFC compliance, check “Allow plain text authentication”.
Then configure XArp:
– Configure XArp. As “Sender email address” use “alerts@xarp-alerts.localhost”. As “Receiver email address” use the address where alerts are to be send to. As “SMTP username” use “alerts”. As “SMTP password” use the password configured for the “alerts” account in hMailServer. As “SMTP server” use 127.0.0.1. As “SMTP server port” use 25.
– Send a testing email address from XArp using the button “Send test email”
– Check the spam folder of the receiving email account (as the server has no valid MX record, the mail can end up in spam)
– If something does not work, see the log in hMailServer under Settings -> Logging -> Show logs. Be sure that logging is enabled for SMTP in the checkbox “Enabled” under Logging.
echo "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty main universe" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/trusty-copies.list
sudo apt update
sudo apt install libwxgtk2.8-0
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/trusty-copies.list
sudo apt update
Then go back to the regular installation instructions (see above unter “Download”, “Installation”)
C:\srvstart_run.v110\
Create a file
XArpService.ini
in the same folder
C:\srvstart_run.v110\
with the following contents:
[XArp] startup="C:\Program Files\XArp\xarp.exe" shutdown_method=winmessage
Open a command line with administrator rights in Windows and type
SC CREATE XArp displayname= XArp binpath= "C:\srvstart_run.v110\srvstart.exe XArp -c C:\srvstart_run.v110\XArpService.ini" start= auto SC DESCRIPTION XArp "ARP Spoofing Detection."
Now you have created a service entry called XArp in Windows that you can start under the system Services area.
To delete the service open a command line with administrator rights in Windows and type:
SC DELETE XArp
The logfile for XArp will be written to
C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Roaming\xarp-SYSTEM\
The settings file for XArp is also in this path. As you now do not have a GUI to configure XArp, run XArp normally through the start menu, configure, and – if you have a Pro version – register it. Then copy the settings file from your normal user account
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\xarp-USERNAME
to
C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Roaming\xarp-SYSTEM\
