Summary

In this chapter, we covered many options available to an attacker if they share the same wireless network with their intended targets. MAC spoofing and ARP poisoning are two attacks that go hand in hand to get between a client and the router on a wireless network. The victim is tricked into sending their outbound traffic through the attacker and the router is also tricked into sending traffic destined for the victim through the attacker in kind. This attack can be very effective for clients that are already connected to a wireless network that an attacker also has access to, such as a public hotspot or after an attacker has defeated a pre-shared key authentication technique on WPA-personal or WPA2-personal networks. DHCP and DNS were also demonstrated as services that can be manipulated by an attacker to either redirect traffic through your attacking workstation to capture sensitive traffic or to unwittingly redirect a target's browser or command-line tools to where you may be able...
