TuX^ Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 Hi guys, I'm trying to do an Arpspoof from Backtrack 5 to one of my windows machines on my local network. It works if I use eth0 as the interface but that's no good for doing pen-tests etc. I am trying to use Wlan0 instead. I get the error: arpspoof: couldn't arp for host. The command I'm trying to use is arpspoof -i wlan0 -t (IP's here) Any ideas? Regards, TuX^ Quote
digip Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 Are you connected and associated with the network? Some routers have AP isolation, where they don't let the wireless clients speak to the wired. Make sure this is not enabled and check the wireless security settings. Might have something on that disables this. Alternatively, try doing it to another wireless client, see if that works. Quote
TuX^ Posted July 11, 2011 Author Posted July 11, 2011 Scratch that, I had to re-install BT. Tried it again and it worked :) However, I have another couple of questions.. 1. Using Arpspoof, is it possible to re-direct a computer to a certain site? Like a fake one created with the SET? I'm guessing its got something to do with DNS. 2. I can't seem to get Dsniff working using the Dsniff -i wlan0 command. Any ideas? Thanks again, TuX^ Quote
Mr-Protocol Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 1) Yes would be more of a DNS spoof 2) should work but might not see traffic because lots of things are https. Use wireshark to confirm. 3) Why do a hard drive install of BT instead of a VM or live dvd boot? Quote

Any ideas? Check out this video, it might give you some ideas, as to why its not working http://www.livehacking.com/videos/dsniff/ Quote
TuX^ Posted July 12, 2011 Author Posted July 12, 2011 @ Mr Protocol, thanks for your answers. But why not? :) @ Infiltrator, thanks, I'll look at that. TuX^ Quote
Mr-Protocol Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 I try to stress that BT5 isn't ment to be a "Main OS" install. Because it's not. Yes it is ubuntu 10.04 LTS, but they block some updates via repos so it keeps programs working properly. Quote
TuX^ Posted July 12, 2011 Author Posted July 12, 2011 In all fairness, it isn't my main OS. I have a dual-boot. TuX^ Quote
Mr-Protocol Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 I get that, but some people think it's something they should run everyday to be 1337 :P Quote
TuX^ Posted July 12, 2011 Author Posted July 12, 2011 Nah, it's not a main OS like you said. I still need my Windows 7 partition anyway. Quote
