As described on the [[ARP Poisoning]] attack page, this attacks the lookup table that every router has that maps IP addresses to MAC addresses. If an attacker can change that talbe, they can receive all traffic intended for another party, make a connection to that party, and forward it along, tampering with the sheep's information.

Man in the Middle with Ettercap

Since I was successful at setting up the configuration for the Evil Twin router attack, but stumbled when it came to actually implementing Man in the Middle/Evil Twin, the idea here is to back up a step, remove the (difficult) Evil Twin configuration, and keep it simple.

Simulating a Man in the Middle attack over a network using Ettercap and ARP Poisoning.

Attacker/Sheep

In this scenario, the attacker Kronos 10.0.0.19 will be attacking the sheep Mars 10.0.0.133

Both are running Kali Linux.

The Attack

As described on the ARP Poisoning attack page, this attacks the lookup table that every router has that maps IP addresses to MAC addresses. If an attacker can change that talbe, they can receive all traffic intended for another party, make a connection to that party, and forward it along, tampering with the sheep's information.
