You need to know your interface name, the Router IP (Gateway), and the Target IP.

NetCut operates using a technique called ARP Cache Poisoning or ARP Spoofing. In a typical local network, devices use the Address Resolution Protocol to map IP addresses to physical MAC addresses. NetCut sends forged ARP responses to the router and the target device. By doing this, it convinces the target that the attacker's machine is the router and convinces the router that the attacker's machine is the target. Once this man-in-the-middle position is established, the attacker can choose to drop the packets, effectively cutting the target's internet connection. Why Use Kali Linux Instead of NetCut?
On a local network, devices use ARP to map IP addresses to physical MAC addresses. When NetCut targets a device, it sends forged ARP messages to the local router and the target machine. (Replace eth0 with your specific interface)

Ettercap is a comprehensive suite for man-in-the-middle attacks, offering both a terminal GUI and a graphical interface.
In the world of network security auditing, few tools have achieved the notoriety and practical utility of . Originally a simple Windows application for scanning networks and disconnecting devices, Netcut has evolved. For Linux users, particularly those running Kali Linux (the premier operating system for penetration testing), the landscape looks a little different. Netcut does not have an official native Linux client like its Windows counterpart.
: Part of the dsniff package, this tool allows you to redirect packets, effectively cutting off a target's connection by misdirecting their traffic to your machine. 3. How NetCut Works: ARP Spoofing
