A system for logging operation histories of DLNA devices by combining ARP spoofing and SSDP

This paper describes the design, implementation, and evaluation of DLNA Probe, a system for logging the operation histories of Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) devices. This paper first describes the combined use of Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) spoofing and the Simple Service Discovery Protocol (SSDP), which obtains the operation histories of DLNA devices without changing any DLNA specifications. Second, it shows that a unicast ARP request is the best of four kinds of ARP spoofing for DLNA Probe. Third, it shows the performance of the implementation of DLNA Probe.
