Kali Linux Wireless Penetration Testing Beginner???s Guide - Third Edition

By: Cameron Buchanan, Daniel W. Dieterle, Vivek Ramachandran

Overview of this book

As wireless networks become ubiquitous in our lives, wireless penetration testing has become a key skill in the repertoire of the professional penetration tester. This has been highlighted again recently with the discovery of the KRACK attack which enables attackers to potentially break into Wi-Fi networks encrypted with WPA2. The Kali Linux security distribution comes with a myriad of tools used for networking attacks and detecting security loopholes. Kali Linux Wireless Penetration Testing Beginner's Guide, Third Edition has been updated to Kali Linux 2017.3 with the latest methodologies, including full coverage of the KRACK attack and how to defend against it. The book presents wireless pentesting from the ground up, introducing all elements of penetration testing with each new technology. You'll learn various wireless testing methodologies by example, from the basics of wireless routing and encryption through to detailed coverage of hacking methods and attacks such as the Hirte and Caffe Latte.

Time for action – session hijacking over wireless


  1. Set up the test exactly as in the MITM attack lab. On the victim, let's fire up the browser and type in https://www.google.com. Let's use Wireshark to monitor this traffic. Your screen should resemble the following:

  2. Apply a Wireshark filter for DNS and, as we can see, the victim is making DNS requests for https://www.google.com:

  3. In order to hijack the browser session, we will need to send fake DNS responses that will resolve the IP address of https://www.google.com to the hacker machine's IP address 192.168.0.199. The tool that we will use for this is called dnsspoof and the syntax is as follows:

    dnsspoof –i mitm-bridge
    

    The output of the command is as follows:

  4. Refresh the browser windows and now, as we can see through Wireshark, as soon as the victim makes a DNS request for any host (including https://www.google.com), dnsspoof replies back.

  5. On the victim's machine, we see an error that says Unable to connect. This is because we made the IP address...
