DNS Spoofing

• Documentation: Report Link

The report details the ethical hacking technique used to target Windows 7 using Kali Linux. The DNS server was hacked with the use of an inbuilt program in Kali Linux called Ettercap, which helped in the execution of the attack. DNS spoofing is demonstrated on a Windows computer, and the mitigation strategy is also presented with detailed explanations.

Ettercap conducts man in the middle attacks on one or more targets by poisoning their ARP cache using the unsecure ARP protocol. On a switched local area network, it can sniff passwords, instant messaging, e-mails, and much more. The major goal of this paper is to inform administrators about packet sniffing techniques used on switched networks so that they may be prepared to deal with such tools.
