Lets reason out various flaws in ATM with reference to TCP/IP......
I will start up with spoofing. Interested posters can add on various other flaws to it..
In this network, attacker can establish a direct ATM connection to that host whenever the ATM address of a server is known. The attacker can register with the IP address of a trusted host by sending a carefully crafted `InATMARP-Reply' message over this connection. After successful registration, spoofed IP packets can be sent over this connection. Moreover, due to the ``ATMARP-Cache poisoning'', the attacked server will send reply packets back to the attacker on the same ATM connection.
Common guys, make this topic interesting...
