NAME

       dnsspoof - forge replies to DNS address / pointer queries

SYNOPSIS

       dnsspoof [-i interface] [-f hostsfile] [expression]

DESCRIPTION

       dnsspoof  forges  replies to arbitrary DNS address / pointer queries on
       the LAN. This is useful in bypassing hostname-based access controls, or
       in implementing a variety of man-in-the-middle attacks.

OPTIONS

       -i interface
              Specify the interface to use.

       -f hostsfile
              Specify  the  pathname  of  a  file in hosts(5) format. Only one
              hostname allowed per line (no aliases), although  hostnames  may
              contain wildcards (such as *.doubleclick.net).

       expression
              Specify  a  tcpdump(8)  filter  expression  to select traffic to
              sniff.

       If no hostsfile is specified, replies will be forged  for  all  address
       queries on the LAN with an answer of the local machine’s IP address.

FILES

       /usr/share/dsniff/dnsspoof.hosts
              Sample hosts file.

SEE ALSO

       dsniff(8), hosts(5)
