ARP spoofing continues to be a significant threat in local area networks because of the lack of inherent authentication, which permits man-in-the-middle and denial-of-service attacks. Current mitigation strategies frequently depend on specific hardware or resource-heavy machine learning models, restricting their feasibility for real-time applications. This document introduces NetShield, a lightweight system for intrusion detection and response that detects ARP spoofing and volumetric DDoS attacks through rule-based IP–MAC checks and protocol-specific traffic evaluation. NetShield actively observes live traffic via libpcap, identifies MAC discrepancies within a time frame, and automatically prevents verified attackers through firewall enforcement. A logging module facilitates the transmission of structured alerts to Firebase for immediate dashboard visualization. Test results show elevated detection precision, reduced response time, and minor system resource use, rendering NetShield ideal for small-to-medium business and educational networks
