Recommended BackTrack WiFu hardware

Unlike Offensive Security 101, "BackTrack WiFu" does not have online labs. The student is required to purchase or previously own compatible hardware. In order to gain the most out of the course, it would be best to work on "dedicated hardware" which is completely under your control. This way, you can reboot and reset hardware with ease. The course hardware requirements are:

A wireless access point (AP) with no hardened Firmware.
A wireless card (PCMCIA or USB) able to inject traffic.
A laptop / computer able to work with BackTrack and your wireless card.
An additional computer able to connect to the wireless network.

Most Access Points should work well with the course, and not block or restrict our attacks. If you're planning on buying dedicated hardware for this course, we can recommend the same hardware that was used to produce "BackTrack Wifu"

Access Points:
WRT54GL (Access Point)

Wireless Cards:
WG511T (PCMCIA Wireless Adapter)
ALFA Networks USB 500mw (USB wireless Adapter capable of Injection)

Sniffing SSL traffic using MITM attack / ettercap, fragrouter, webmitm and dnsspoof.

Before reading on this guide is for educational purposes only. I take no responsibility from what people do with this info. First thing is to get fragrouter. I don't know if you can use other tools provided with the backtrack, there are 100 ways to skin a cat and this is just my way. http://packetstormsecurity.nl/UNIX/IDS/nidsbench/fragrouter.html There are lots of things that you can do with fragrouter but we are going to use fragrouter to setup IP forwarding. We do this with this command : Code: fragrouter -B1Squash that window and put it to one side. Now open another shell and we will start dnsspoof with this command Code: dnsspoof -i ath0 (or whatever network interface you are using)Again put that window to one side and lets load up webmitm. Webmitm will issue our ssl cert to the victim so we can decrypt the traffic we capture. Start webmitm by typing Code: webmitm -dNow we can start the arp spoof. To start ettercap type Code: ettercap -T -M arp:remote /router addy/ /victim a...
