Ettercap is a comprehensive suite for man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks on LAN. It allows sniffing, network analysis, and injection of packets into an ongoing network connection, making it effective for both passive and active attacks.
Examples:
- Launch Ettercap GUI:
- ettercap -G
- Launch Ettercap GUI:
Explanation: Launches the graphical interface, where users can select network targets and configure MITM attacks.
- Perform ARP Spoofing:
- ettercap -T -i eth0 -M arp:remote /192.168.1.1/ /192.168.1.100/
- Perform ARP Spoofing:
Explanation: Uses ARP spoofing to intercept communication between the router (192.168.1.1) and the target (192.168.1.100), allowing the attacker to see all traffic.
