Its been over 3 weeks since Firesheep was released, and yet still there seem to be so many misconceptions about this particular vulnerability. The most prevalent of these misconceptions is that HTTP Session Hijacking, also known as sidejacking is something which is limited to only wireless networks. And this belief is not limited to just session hijacking attacks. Somewhere along the way a myth was propagated that wired switched networks are somehow impervious to attacks like these and other similar types of attacks because of the use of collision domains and the inability of an attacker to have unfettered access to the Layer 2 medium. As I mentioned in my previous article on the Misconceptions About Sidejacking with Firesheep, attacks like these and others are not relegated to strictly wireless networks, and in fact there are many so called Man in the Middle MITM attacks which can be performed on a switched wired network to compromise the imaginary security of a Layer 2 collision domain. Today we will kick off a series of articles in which we will discuss the different forms of MITM attacks. MITM attacks come in many forms and essentially allow an attacker to act as a proxy between the victim and any host the victim has established connections with. It is a form of active eavesdropping in which the attacker is controlling the conversation unbeknownst to the victim. Biggest list of free hacking tools for you to hack proficiently.

This is accomplished through an attack known as an ARP Poisoning attack, which is also commonly referred to as an ARP Spoofing attack. Recall that in switched networks, unique collisions domain are created between each host and the switch. This is unlike a hub which utilizes a single collision domain for all connected ports. The primary reason for this behavior in switched networks is to reduce unintended collisions on the medium, however it has an added benefit in that it makes the network more secure from prying eyes. In a switched network, traffic from one host to another is normally inspected by the switch, and the traffic is only forwarded to the host on the port whose destination MAC address matches that specified in the Ethernet header. An obvious exception to this behavior is broadcast traffic, which is normally flooded to all ports in the broadcast domain this normally means all ports on the switch, or if VLANs are being used, all ports in the same VLAN. In unicast conversations however, sniffing traffic is much more difficult because the traffic is directed towards the appropriate destination and is not seen by hosts which are not part of the conversation. Now lets take a look at how the Layer 2 network can be subjugated via an ARP Poisoning attack. An ARP Poisoning attack can be used to subjugate traffic staying local to the LAN as well as traffic that is going to a remote network. In this scenario, we will describe traffic that is going off net, towards some destination off the local network such as an Internet destination. Under normal circumstances, a host comes online and attempts to associate a Layer 2 MAC address with the Layer 3 address of the default gateway. The ARP Request is flooded to all ports on the network so that all devices have an opportunity to inspect the ARP Request to determine if their Layer 3 address is the one which is being requested. In a normal scenario, the device which owns the Layer 3 address will respond with an ARP Reply and indicate the Layer 2 MAC address to associate with that Layer 3 address. In the example below, we see the host 1. ARP Request for the MAC Address of the default gateway 1. This ARP Request is broadcasted to all hosts on the network. In this example, the network has not been compromised yet, so the proper ARP Response is issued by the router and sent towards the requesting host. Through this mechanism, the requesting host now associates the Layer 2 MAC Address 0.

Now that weve seen how ARP works in a normal scenario, lets take a quick look at how a Layer 2 switched network could be compromised, and force all off net traffic to go through an intermediary device, in this case, the attackers machine. By using a tool such as Ettercap, we can easily spoof these ARP messages across the local network, and fool unsuspecting devices into routing traffic towards the attackers machine. First, well spoof our own MAC address before launching the attack, because this is really the only fingerprint which might otherwise indicate the source of this attack. A savvy attacker would therefore likely spoof his own MAC address to evade detection. With the following command, we spoof our MAC address to 0. Back. Track. VM sfouant sudo ifconfig en. Back. Track.

Essentially, what weve done here is to use Ettercap to send out gratuitous ARPs to all hosts on the network. Notice that in order for us to observe the full conversation, we must poison not only the victim, but also the router as well. In the diagram below, you can see that the attacker has sent an ARP Reply to both the router as well as to the victim. In the case of the ARP Reply to the router, we are telling the router that traffic destined towards the victim should now be sent to the attacker. Similarly, in the case of the ARP Reply to the victim, we are telling the victim that traffic destined towards the router should likewise be sent to the attacker as well. Here are the packet captures from the wire so we can see exactly what is taking place. We see the attackers machine sending an ARP Reply to poison the ARP cache of both the victims machine as well as the router. ARP 0x. 08. 06, IPv.
