Proximoth

Control Frame Attack Vulnerability Detection Tool

Proximoth performs Control Frame Attack, which lets the attacker find out whether the target device is in range, in other words: presence detection.

More Info About Control Frame Attack:

Installation By Building

Required Packages To Compile

  • libpcap-dev
  • gcc
  • make
  • gzip
$ sudo apt-get install libpcap-dev gcc make gzip

Installation

$ git clone https://github.com/TechnicalUserX/proximoth.git
$ cd proximoth
$ make
$ sudo make install

Put The Interface In Monitor Mode (Obligatory)

wlan0 name may vary depending on your operating system. Sometimes, it may look like wlp2s0 or wlx6a4cdd56f9b1.

#Put the interface into monitor mode
$ sudo ip link set wlan0 down
$ sudo iw wlan0 set type monitor
$ sudo ip link set wlan0 up

#To put the interface back to managed mode
$ sudo ip link set wlan0 down
$ sudo iw wlan0 set type managed
$ sudo ip link set wlan0 up

Set Interface Channel (Optional)

<channel> is arbitrary, like 2 or 11. Available channels depend on your Wi-Fi antenna. You might want to change the channel of your interface in scenarios which the default channel is in heavy disturbance by other Wi-Fi devices.

$ sudo iw wlan0 set channel <channel>

Channel numbers are generally between 1 and 11.

Usage

Example Usages

$ sudo proximoth -i wlan0 10:DA:41:E8:FA:DC

$ sudo proximoth -i wlan0 10:DA:41:E8:FA:DC --dump-file dump --out-file record

$ sudo proximoth -i wlan0 10:DA:41:E8:FA:DC --rts-interval 100000

$ sudo proximoth -i wlan0 10:DA:41:E8:FA:DC -b 1C:CC:D6:00:00:00

General Usage Information

Usage: proximoth [options] <target>

 <target>                            : MAC address of the target.

options:

 -h, --help                          : Prints this screen.

 -o <file>, --out-file <file>        : File to write statistics after shutdown.

 -b <bssid>, --bssid <bssid>         : Custom BSSID to be injected as sender MAC address.
                                       Address is fixed automatically to be global and unicast.

 -a, --no-mac-autofix                : Disables unicast/global auto fix for BSSID MAC addresses.

 -i <iface>, --interface <iface>     : Wireless interface to use packet injection and sniffing.
                                       Obligatory option.

 -d <file>, --dump-file <file>       : Write all CTS captures to a PCAP file.

 -r <us>, --rts-interval <us>        : Microseconds as threshold to wait between RTS injections.
                                       Setting it to a low value might cause malfunction.
                                       Default: 500000

 -t, --text-mode                     : Enables text only mode.

 --version                           : Prints version number and author information.
