Adrian Crenshaw from Irongeek.com developed a utility to monitor Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) in Windows OS to detect ARP related attacks.

According to the project website, DecaffeinatID is a simple application that acts as an Intrusion Detection System to notify the user whenever other users at their local Wi-Fi hotspot/ LAN are up to the kind of “reindeer games” that often happen at coffee shops and public places.

DecaffeinatID watches the Windows logs for three types of activities such as:

• New or changed ARP table entries
• New events in security log
• New events in the firewall log

DecaffeinatID is Microsoft Windows XP SP2 and Vista compatible.
