Alfa AWUS050NH 802.11n high powered wireless USB adapter version 2

Alfa Networks manufactures the most popular and longest range WiFi product on the market- the AWUS036H 500mW 802.11g wireless USB adapter. Back in March they launched the 802.11n version, the AWUS050NH, to very good reviews. There was some discussion thereafter that while the AWUS050NH worked extremely well with 802.11n routers, the performance with 802.11g routers could be a little better. In June, Alfa discontinued the model in favor of a version 2 of the same model number, to be shipped to distributors instead. The new version has hit some setbacks and is not set to be ready for release until sometime in July.

If you are in the market for this model adapter, it is our understanding direct from Alfa that no retailers have the version 2 unit for sale right now. Alfa did ship a handful of test units to retailers (we did get some and all are gone). Some retailers still have a stock of the version 1 available. The version 1 works very well and is worth buying, but Alfa is touting improved 802.11g functionality on the version 2 model.

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...
