🌐 MITM Attack Practice

This repository demonstrates a Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attack using ARP poisoning and Wireshark to capture HTTP credentials in a controlled environment. It's a great way to learn how attackers can intercept network traffic and potentially steal sensitive information. 🚨

🔧 Tools Used:

• Kali Linux 🐧
• Wireshark 🔍
• Ettercap 💻

📖 Setup Instructions:

1️⃣ VM Setup:

• Kali Linux as the attacker.
• Windows VM as the victim.

2️⃣ Install Tools on Kali Linux:

• Install Ettercap: For performing ARP poisoning and intercepting network traffic.
• Install Wireshark: For capturing and analyzing packets.

3️⃣ Running ARP Poisoning with Ettercap:

• Start Ettercap and run ARP poisoning on the victim (Windows VM).
• Ensure that the attacker (Kali) is in between the victim and the target (router) for successful interception.

4️⃣ Capturing Packets with Wireshark:

• Launch Wireshark and start capturing network packets.
• Filter for HTTP requests using http.request.method == "POST" or filter by IP to analyze the traffic.

📂 Files Included:

• Ettercap.conf: Configuration file for ARP poisoning.
• Wireshark.pcap: Captured network packets during the MITM attack.

✨ What you will learn:

• How ARP poisoning works in a local network.
• How attackers can sniff sensitive information like login credentials.
• How to use tools like Ettercap and Wireshark to perform MITM attacks.
