Isn't way easier to hijack the DNS requests of the victim, redirect the connection to a similar unknown domain which replicates the HTML code and fields offered by the originally requested website[1]? I think Metasploit can do something similar.
I mean once you're in a position where using SSlstrip of SSLsplit or whatever, means that you gained access to the victim's LAN.
That's why programs like DNSSEC or DNSCrypt should be installed by default on laptops who use often Free WiFi/Internet Caffes, etc.
Funny thing is that, after all these years there's no way to implement an ARP poisoning mitigation policy that will protect all your clients no matter what OS they run (iOs/OSX, Linux/Android, BSD, Windows, Embedded, etc.).
[1] What comes in mind is a ruby Sinatra application which reads the targeted website's output and creates css/haml output on-the-fly.
- bitexploder 12y agoIf you have a captive audience, DNS, etc. can still be much more difficult. Think, malicious wifi hotspots where you can totally dominate everything about the victim's Internet access. But, generally, you are right, these tools require a certain level of access. I have never used one on an internal network assessment. I have done a small amount of arp poisoning on occasion, which you could then use a tool like ssl strip with, but my needs were different :)
- WatchDog 12y agoIf you hijack DNS and the user tries to visit a HTTPS site you still need to do some sort of SSL interception.
