can ettercap destroy/damage switch?
I have been messing with ettercap for some time now and understand how it works on the application, protocol, OSI levels, etc.
What I'm not sure about is the harware.
I know that switches work at the layer 2 (MAC) and sometimes layer 3 (network/vlans).
In this case I'm using DLink and 3Com unmanaged workgroup switches. All layer 2.
I have not had an opportunity to play with it on managed switches of any type... as my experimenting is limited mostly to my home network.
Can using a program like ettercap damage a switch? Since it is forcing it to act as a hub and repeat all traffic through all ports...
Thanks in advance!
Quitmzilla is a firefox extension that gives you stats on how long you have quit smoking, how much money you\'ve saved, how much you haven\'t smoked and recent milestones. Very helpful for people who quit smoking and used to smoke at their computers... Helps out with the urges.
