During an internal assessment you have shell access to a Linux jump box on the same switched subnet as a Windows workstation (10.0.0.25) and its default gateway (10.0.0.1). You want to capture the workstation's traffic by launching an ARP-poisoning man-in-the-middle attack from interface eth0. Which one-line command with the arpspoof utility will correctly begin the interception?
With arpspoof the positional argument (host) is the IP address you are pretending to be, while the -t option designates the victim that will accept the forged reply. To convince 10.0.0.25 that the gateway 10.0.0.1 is at the attacker's MAC, you must specify -t 10.0.0.25 10.0.0.1 on the desired interface. The other options either place the parameters in the wrong order, misuse the interface flag, or employ unsupported syntax, so they will not achieve the required ARP poisoning.
