Login Failures

The Cayman software provides the means for assigning passwords to the
Admin or User accounts to control access to the Gateway. Any attempts to
login are given three chances to enter a valid password. The Security Mon-
itoring software records instances where the user fails to enter a valid pass-
word.

Logged information includes:

MAC Address Spoofing

A MAC (Media Access Control) Address Spoofing Attack can be identified
based on the IP-interface where the illegitimate packet came from. If the
interface that the spoofed packet arrives on does not have the same MAC
address as the legitimate entry in the routing table, then an attack is
logged.
