Description
Whenever I connected to SSID:ietf-hotel at Swissotel, Symantec Endpoint Protection Client on my laptop yells that it is detecting ARP cache poison.
Source of the cache poisoning:
80:2a:a8:8f:a3:cf
I can give you a pcap file it includes the events.

Symantec Client claims that the remote mac address of the poisoning is 80:2a:a8:8f:a3:cf

80:2a:a8:8f:a3:cf is the MAC address of the router. In the pcap file I see it sending ARPs for you, and responding to ARP requests for itself. Does Symantec give any indication of what behavior it considers to be arp cache poisoning?
Does your current ARP cache contain a different resolution for 31.133.144.1?

The address belongs to the currently active "official" router, who uses it with multiple IP addresses, hence the false warning.
Nothing to see here, please walk on ... ;-) ;-) ;-)

Thank you for the investigation.
I'm out for the hackathon, so I can't check the ARP cache of my laptop now.
I'll check the situation after returning to the hotel.
Closing this ticket is no problem of course. thank you.
The pcap file would be welcome; please attach it here
