How can I protect my dhcpd application on a Debian system from DHCP starvation attacks? Is there any option in the .conf file?

    Give IP addresses based on MAC. If you have too many machines to do that, you can hire somebody to solve the problem for you.

  • This is a public network. I was just wondering if there was an option within the application itself to protect against this.

    @Stephen, yes, but which DHCP server program? ISC:s DHCP server in the isc-dhcp-server package? dnsmasq? Some other? Or do you just want an answer for some DHCP server, any one?

The layer 2 network should be protected, means that security measure must be in place:
dhcp snooping (bind ip:mac in database)
dynamic arp inspection (work hand in hand with dhcp snooping)
port security - be strict, one mac address per access port if not trunking



By doing this, you can guarantee, when a device is plug into the network that it is unique



Configure DHCP server to only offer ip address to a known set of MAC address
