Perform ARP spoofing attacks using Bettercap to intercept and manipulate network traffic, enabling MITM positioning on local wireless networks.
Exploits captive portal mechanisms to harvest user credentials via rogue access points, DNS spoofing, and phishing pages mimicking legitimate login portals.
Demonstrates sniffing unencrypted 802.11 traffic on open Wi-Fi using passive capture tools to intercept credentials, sessions, and sensitive data in transit.
Exploit MSCHAPv2 weaknesses by capturing challenge-response pairs, then crack NT hashes offline using Asleap or Hashcat to recover plaintext credentials.
Exploit WPA2-Enterprise networks using EAPHammer to perform evil twin attacks, capture RADIUS credentials, and conduct rogue AP-based lateral movement.
Creates a rogue AP cloning a legitimate SSID using hostapd-mana, forcing client deauthentication via Aireplay-ng to capture credentials or handshakes.
Deploy a rogue AP using hostapd-mana to intercept EAP authentication handshakes, capturing enterprise wireless credentials via RADIUS downgrade and identity harvesting attacks.
Demonstrates KARMA attacks using hostapd-mana to impersonate trusted SSIDs, capturing client connections by responding to 802.11 probe requests.
Capture WPA/WPA2 handshakes or PMKIDs, then perform offline dictionary and brute-force attacks using hashcat or aircrack-ng to recover PSKs.
Exploitation uses confirmed weaknesses to gain access, recover credentials, or capture sensitive data. The techniques here range from passive traffic capture on open networks to active attacks that recover passphrases, harvest domain credentials, and intercept client traffic through rogue APs.
The attack path depends on what vulnerability discovery confirmed. For WPA2 PSK targets, start with handshake capture or check whether a PMKID was already captured by hcxdumptool during enumeration, then move to cracking. For WPS targets, try Pixie Dust first , it completes in seconds if the AP is vulnerable , before falling back to PIN brute-force. For enterprise networks, EAP credential harvesting with hostapd-mana is the primary attack, followed by MSCHAPv2 cracking. For captive portal networks, credential harvesting via a rogue portal is covered alongside the evil twin AP setup that drives clients to it.
Open network → capture plaintext traffic immediately, no credentials needed.
WEP network → IV collection + aircrack-ng, accelerate with ARP replay if traffic is low.
WPA2 PSK, PMKID captured → crack directly with hashcat -m 22000, no deauth needed.
WPA2 PSK, no PMKID → deauth + handshake capture, then crack.
WPS unlocked, Ralink/Realtek → Pixie Dust first.
WPS unlocked, other chipset → PIN brute-force.
WPA Enterprise, PEAP, no cert validation → hostapd-mana rogue RADIUS → crack MSCHAPv2.
Joined network → ARP spoof + intercept with bettercap.
Once access is gained, post-exploitation covers decrypting previously captured traffic with the recovered passphrase and mapping the internal network from the wireless foothold.
