Yersinia
A framework for performing and analyzing layer 2 network protocol attacks, including STP and CDP.
What is Yersinia?
Yersinia is a network security framework focused on layer 2 protocol attacks and analysis. It provides tools for testing vulnerabilities in network switching protocols like Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP), helping security professionals identify weaknesses in network infrastructure. The framework includes detailed implementations of various attack vectors with real-world examples and mitigation strategies.
Network security professionals, penetration testers, and network administrators who need to assess and harden layer 2 network security. It's particularly valuable for those working with Cisco networking equipment and enterprise network environments.
Yersinia offers specialized, protocol-specific attack implementations that go beyond generic network testing tools. Its detailed documentation, real device log outputs, and practical mitigation guidance make it uniquely valuable for understanding and defending against layer 2 vulnerabilities in production networks.
