Using this without authorization is illegal in most places. This guide is for
educational and learning use only. Please use common sense and respect

1. What is a Man in the Middle Attack?


As the name describes, you will be the Man in the Middle meaning that
you will sneak into the connection between the attacked Device and the
Router. This implies that you are inside the same Network (WLAN) of the
target.This Attack gives you access to all data running through the
attacked Device Internet Connection giving you the possibility to sniff for
Chats, Email, Passwords and many many more things.
2. How can I be save from that?
There are Tools that prevent others from flushing your ARP Cache or just
use a high encryption while surfing on the Interent such as PGP (Emails)
or HTTPS. Theese are just examples, you will find solutions if you search
for them.
3. How does the Attack work?
The ARP Protocol is used to map IP Addresses to specific MAC
Addresses. Computers do use this to identify other Devices in the local
Network.By spoofing ARP Replays you can spoof your identity meaning
that your Computer seems to be the targeted Computer (from the view of
the Router) and at the same time the targeted Computer thinks you are
the Router. Here is a basic schema of this setup:

4. Before we start:
First of all you need a Tool to spoof theese ARP Replays. There are some
but for this Tutorial we will use the Tool ARPSpoof which is part of the
DSniff Package.To get this Tool running on Mac OS X your best bet is to
use Mac Ports, so go ahead and download the right Version for your
Operating System: Download Page [https://www.macports.org/install.php] .
After that you should be able to use the
port

command in Terminal (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app)Run


sudo port selfupdate

followed by
sudo port install dsniff-devel

or
sudo port install dsniff

Note that when you type in your Admin Password it will not be
displayed!Let the Installation run, this can take some time. After its
finished you should be able to use the
arpspoof

command in Terminal.
5. Run the Attack:
Now you'r able to start the Attack, but before that you should choose the

Device you want to Attack. To find all Devices in your local Network use
this command:
arp -a

The first IP is most likely your Routers Address.Now if you know the IP of
your Victim and the IP of your Router then you have almost all information
you need to start the Attack.We only need to do one more thing. There is
one problem if you intercept someones Internet Connections: You recive
Packets that are not meant to be sent to you, so the Operating System will
not forward them to the destination, it will just drop them leaving the
attacked one without Internet Connection.To get around this run this
Commands in Terminal:
sudo sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=1
sudo sysctl -w net.inet.ip.fw.enable=1

This will enable Packet Forwarding on OS X Systems.Now open up two


new Terminal Windows and run theese two commands:
sudo arpspoof -i YOURINTERFACE -t VICTIMIP ROUTERIP
sudo arpspoof -i YOURINTERFACE -t ROUTERIP VICTIMIP

Replace:YOURINTERFACE with the name of your Interface (For WLAN


Connections most likely en1 and for LAN most likely en0)VICTIMIP with
the IP Address of your VictimROUTERIP with your Router IPAfter this it
should look like this:

Keep theese two windows open until you want to stop your attack! Okay
so now this is all you need to do, your now redirecting the Victims traffic
over your Computer to the destination, so your able to read all transmitted
Data.
6. How can I sniff Data?
The DSniff Package contains some more very nice Tools:mailsnarf - As
the name explains, sniffes for Mailsdsniff - For Common Password sniffing
(Does for some reason not capture all Passwords)msgsnarf - This is
meant for specific messagesurlsnarf - To sniff for browsed Websites and
User

one to run on OSX!)tcpdump - Dump all captured Traffic for later analyzis
and Cookie Stealinghamster & ferret - Cookie HijackerThere are Scripts
for Facebook Chat Sniffing and you will find much more if you search for it.
7. How do I stop the Attack?
Just hit ctrl+c in the opened Terminal, wait 3-4 sec and then the Tool
should be terminated.I hope you enjoyed, happy hacking
