wireless MITM

[Cheng-Gong]

Hi everyone,
I have given an assignment about the MITM that works with the wireless. Since, you guys know about more things, I expect that there would be some members that can help me on this topic. I also want to know about the protection against attacks man-in-the-middle. I am hoping some help from your side as soon as possible.!!

Put a point on the route of entry of rogue available to be placed Fi, wireless specific variation is a man in the wireless stations is specific variation of a man in the middle attack. If the attacker knows the SSID and the rogue AP has enough force, Fi, then the users have no way of knowing. Laptop with two wireless adapters, in which card is used by the rogue AP and the other is used for sending multiple requests through a wireless bridge to a legitimate AP.

As its name implies, "Man in the Middle" means that the hacker manages to fall between the Access Point and WLAN client device. In this way customer communications that wifi wireless network will be controlled by the hacker, who can make three different types of actions based on interest.

By an attack Man-in-the-Middle, a hacker can achieve the following :

• Modify or alter information being transmitted through it and thus confuse or mislead the recipient.
• Transmit the information without any change. Thus learning of content achieved
• Lock the information received and ensure that it never comes to the attention of the recipient.

To perform this attack, the hacker must first locate a WiFi wireless network (or inlámbrica wifi network) to attack. It should also gather information about the SSID and other parameters of the access point wireless network and the wireless client has chosen for his attack. For the attack will need a Wireless Access Point and a wireless client computer. There is now software that can emulate a PC in an Access Point, which may be enough for a computer that meets the two functions: access point and wireless client, at a time. The Access Point's hacker will "attract" the client (or clients) wifi wireless network that's going to attack, to connect him to the Access Point and not legitimate. On the other hand, your PC legitimate client will send this information to the Access Point "true".

The attack mentioned is the latest version of MITM, in which the user suffers a hoax and is taken to the wrong website. The most common techniques to lure visitors include phishing emails, fake wireless site, and more recently, the attack on non-secure DNS servers. Fraudulent use a server to intercept communications between the user's browser and a legitimate Web site, and then works as a proxy, capturing confidential information via HTTP (not HTTPS) between the browser and the server fraudulent.

The defense against rogue APs is monitoring through frequent scrutiny of the site using tools such as Netstumbler and reviews by the site using tools such as NetStumbler and AiroPeek, and physical security.
