Time for action – Man-in-the-Middle attack

Follow these instructions to get started:

1. To create the Man-in-the-Middle attack setup, we will first c create a soft access point called mitm on the hacker laptop using airbase-ng. We run the command airbase-ng --essid mitm –c 11 mon0:

   

2. It is important to note that airbase-ng when run, creates an interface at0 (tap interface). Think of this as the wired-side interface of our software-based access point mitm.

   

3. Let us now create a bridge on the hacker laptop, consisting of the wired (eth0) and wireless interface (at0). The succession of commands used for this are—brctl addbr mitm-bridge, brctl addif mitm-bridge eth0, brctl addif mitm-bridge at0, ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 up, ifconfig at0 0.0.0.0 up:

   

4. We can assign an IP address to this bridge and check the connectivity with the gateway. Please note that we could do the same using DHCP as well. We can assign an IP address to the bridge interface with the command—ifconfig mitm-bridge 192.168.0.199 up. We can...
