I wasn't talking about full-on ARP spoofing (can't speak for anyone else.)
That would be bad because you'd end up stealing some of the traffic that
was supposed to go to the local router. I was talking about pulling a copy
of the frame off the wire, change the destination MAC in memory, and
resend it to yourself, not the wire (though it shouldn't hurt anything to
go on the wire, either.)
