EXPERIMENT NO: 7

Aim: Study of Sniffing and Spoofing Tools in Kali Linux.

Wireshark

wireshark Package Description:

Wireshark is the world’s foremost and widely-used network protocol analyzer. It lets you see what’s happening on your network at a microscopic level and is the de facto (and often de jure) standard across many commercial and non-profit enterprises, government agencies, and educational institutions. Wireshark development thrives thanks to the volunteer contributions of networking experts around the globe and is the continuation of a project started by Gerald Combs in 1998.

Wireshark has a rich feature set which includes the following:

• Deep inspection of hundreds of protocols, with more being added all the time

• Live capture and offline analysis

• Standard three-pane packet browser

• Multi-platform: Runs on Windows, Linux, macOS, Solaris, FreeBSD, NetBSD, and many others

• Captured network data can be browsed via a GUI, or via the TTY-mode TShark utility

• The most powerful display filters in the industry

• Rich VoIP analysis

• Read/write many different capture file formats: tcpdump (libpcap), Pcap NG, Catapult DCT2000, Cisco Secure IDS iplog, Microsoft Network Monitor, Network General Sniffer® (compressed and uncompressed), Sniffer® Pro, and NetXray®, Network Instruments Observer, NetScreen snoop, Novell LANalyzer, RADCOM WAN/LAN Analyzer, Shomiti/Finisar Surveyor, Tektronix K12xx, Visual Networks Visual UpTime, WildPackets EtherPeek/TokenPeek/AiroPeek, and many others

• Capture files compressed with gzip can be decompressed on the fly

• Live data can be read from Ethernet, IEEE 802.11, PPP/HDLC, ATM, Bluetooth, USB, Token Ring, Frame Relay, FDDI, and others (depending on your platform)

• Decryption support for many protocols, including IPsec, ISAKMP, Kerberos, SNMPv3, SSL/TLS, WEP, and WPA/WPA2

• Coloring rules can be applied to the packet list for quick, intuitive analysis

• Output can be exported to XML, PostScript®, CSV, or plain text
