red_snow62_10 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 I'm trying to do some sniffing on my local network using Kali but I'm not being too successful. I'm mainly using ettercap. Can someone please help me with the steps and explain them in detail so that it's easy to understand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooper Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Switch to wireshark. And use a consumer-level distro instead of Kali if you're not yet comfortable with Linux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZaraByte Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 (edited) Switch to wireshark. And use a consumer-level distro instead of Kali if you're not yet comfortable with Linux. Use Wireshark doesn't seem like starters level program to use. That be like jumping into a deep end of the pool rather starting out in the waist deep water to learn to swim. This is way i make the kinda videos i do is because a lot of the guys who make videos wanna use big tech words that beginners don't understand i try to explain at a beginners level so that even someone with no computer knowledge can do it. I have been lacking on releasing videos like what hes wanting to do but im mainly trying to redo all my old ones heh. Will get around to doing a video on doing something like this when i can. I have a few scripts on my site that were made by some other people online they are pretty decent for sniffing data like passwords and stuff like that. But if you really wanna understand the behind the scenes of the tools you might wanna focus on looking at their source code and researching what the file is doing.

Sildaekar Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I would recommend wireshark. While Zara is right that it can be very complicated, it is a lot easier on the eyes than ettercap, especially the way it organizes and color-codes the packets. The best advice that I can give is google and youtube. Just like google, youtube has pretty much everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i8igmac Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 (edited) I believe in ettercap, there are plenty if tutorials out there for this attack, I'm sure your missing a few little settings. on backtrack. A fewcommands Locate etter.conf You have to edit 3 lines, first set guid => 0 And scrole down you will find 2 lines of iptables, remove the # on both iptable lines to enable Then you have to locate IP_forwarding and edit it to show 1 Ettercap -T -q -M ARP // // I do agree with whar wassaid above, I would start out with a distro like Linux mint or something... on your test machine try surfing multiple websites like yahoo.com msn.com etc...

i8igmac Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward Correction ec_uid change to 0 don't use ettercap gui... learn the console... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
