In the previous section, we have seen that with a few lines of Python code we can redirect traffic to the attacker machine instead of going to https://www.google.jo/?gws_rd=ssl. This time, we will see how an attacker can take advantage of manipulating the DNS record for Facebook, redirect traffic to the phishing page, and grab the account password.
