       ettercap-plugins NG-0.7.3 - A collection of plugins for ettercap

DESCRIPTION

       Ettercap(8)  supports  loadable  modules  at  runtime.  They are called
       plugins and they come within the source tarball. They are automatically
       compiled  if  your  system  supports  them  or  until  you  specify the
       --disable-plugins option to the configure script.
       Some of older ettercap plugins (roper, banshee, and  so  on)  have  not
       been  ported  in the new version.  By the way, you can achieve the same
       results by using new filtering engine.
       If you use interactive mode, most plugins need to "Start Sniff"  before
       using them.

       To have a list of plugins installed in your system do that command:

              ettercap -P list

       The following is a list of available plugins:

       arp_cop

              It  reports  suspicious ARP activity by passively monitoring ARP
              requests/replies.  It can  report  ARP  posioning  attempts,  or
              simple  IP-conflicts  or  IP-changes.   If you build the initial
              host list the plugin will run more accurately.

              example :

              ettercap -TQP arp_cop //

       autoadd

              It will automatically add new victims to the ARP poisoning  mitm
              attack  when  they come up. It looks for ARP requests on the lan
              and when detected it will add the host to the victims list if it
              was  specified  in  the  TARGET.  The  host is added when an arp
              request is seen form it, since communicating hosts are alive :)

       chk_poison

              It performs a check to  see  if  the  arp  poisoning  module  of
              ettercap  was successful.  It sends spoofed ICMP echo packets to
              all the victims of the poisoning pretending to be  each  of  the
              other  targets.  If  we  can  catch  an  ICMP reply with our MAC
              address as destination it means that the poisoning between those
              two   targets  is  successful.  It  checks  both  ways  of  each
              communication.  This plugin makes  sense  only  where  poisoning
              makes  sense.   The test fails if you specify only one target in
              silent mode.  You  can’t  run  this  plugin  from  command  line
              because  the  poisoning  process is not started yet. You have to
              launch it from the proper menu.

       dns_spoof

              This plugin intercepts  DNS  query  and  reply  with  a  spoofed
              answer.  You  can chose to which address the plugin has to reply
              by modifying the etter.dns file. The plugin  intercepts  A,  PTR
              and  MX request. If it was an A request, the name is searched in
              the file and the ip address is returned (you can  use  wildcards
              in the name). If if was a PTR request, the ip is searched in the
              file and the name is returned (except for those name  containing
              a  wildcard).  In case of MX request a special reply is crafted.
              The host is resolved  with  a  fake  host  ’mail.host’  and  the
              additional  record  contains  the ip address of ’mail.host’. The
              first address or name that matches is returned,  so  be  careful
              with the order.

       dos_attack

              This plugin runs a d.o.s. attack against a victim IP address. It
              first "scans" the victim to find  open  ports,  then  starts  to
              flood these ports with SYN packets, using a "phantom" address as
              source IP. Then it uses fake ARP replies  to  intercept  packets
              for  the phantom host. When it receives SYN-ACK from the victim,
              it  replies  with  an  ACK  packet   creating   an   ESTABLISHED
              connection.  You have to use a free IP address in your subnet to
              create  the  "phantom"  host  (you  can  use  find_ip  for  this
              purpose).  You can’t run this plugin in unoffensive mode.
              This   plugin  is  based  on  the  original  Naptha  DoS  attack
              (http://razor.bindview.com/publish/advisories/adv_NAPTHA.html)

              example :

              ettercap -TQP dos_attack

       dummy

              Only a template to demonstrate how to write a plugin.

       find_conn

              Very simple plugin that listens for ARP requests to show you all
              the  targets  an  host  wants  to  talk to. It can also help you
              finding addresses in an unknown LAN.

              example :

              ettercap -TQzP find_conn

              ettercap -TQu -i eth0 -P find_conn

       find_ettercap

              Try to identify ettercap packets sent on the LAN.  It  could  be
              useful to detect if someone is using ettercap. Do not rely on it
              100%    since    the    tests    are    only    on    particular
              sequence/identification numbers.

       find_ip

              Find  the  first unused IP address in the range specified by the
              user in the target list. Some other plugins (such as  gre_relay)
              need  an  unused  IP address of the LAN to create a "fake" host.
              It can also be useful to obtain an IP address in an unknown  LAN
              where  there  is  no  dhcp  server.  You  can  use  find_conn to
              determine the IP addressing of the LAN, and then  find_ip.   You
              have  to  build host list to use this plugin so you can’t use it
              in unoffensive mode. If you don’t have an IP  address  for  your
              interface,   give   it   a   bogus  one  (e.g.  if  the  LAN  is
              192.168.0.0/24, use 10.0.0.1  to  avoid  conflicting  IP),  then
              launch  this plugin specifying the subnet range.  You can run it
              either from the command line or from the proper menu.

              example :

              ettercap -TQP find_ip //

              ettercap -TQP find_ip /192.168.0.1-254/

       finger

              Uses the  passive  fingerprint  capabilities  to  fingerprint  a
              remote host. It does a connect() to the remote host to force the
              kernel to reply to the SYN with a SYN+ACK packet. The reply will
              be  collected  and  the  fingerprint is displayed. The connect()
              obey to the connect_timeout parameter in etter.conf(5). You  can
              specify  a  target  on  command-line  or  let the plugin ask the
              target host to be fingerprinted. You can also  specify  multiple
              target   with   the   usual   multi-target   specification  (see
              ettercap(8)). if you specify multiple ports, all the ports  will
              be tested on all the IPs.

              example :

              ettercap -TzP finger /192.168.0.1/22
              ettercap -TzP finger /192.168.0.1-50/22,23,25

       finger_submit

              Use this plugin to submit a fingerprint to the ettercap website.
              If you found an unknown fingerprint, but you know for  sure  the
              operating  system of the target, you can submit it so it will be
              inserted in the database in the next ettercap release.  We  need
              your  help  to  increase the passive fingerprint database. Thank
              you very much.

              example :

              ettercap -TzP finger_submit

       gre_relay

              This plugin can be used to sniff GRE-redirected remote  traffic.
              The  basic  idea  is  to  create a GRE tunnel that sends all the
              traffic on a router  interface  to  the  ettercap  machine.  The
              plugin  will  send  back  the  GRE  packets to the router, after
              ettercap "manipulation" (you can use "active"  plugins  such  as
              smb_down, ssh decryption, filters, etc... on redirected traffic)
              It needs a "fake" host where the traffic has to be redirected to
              (to  avoid kernel’s responses). The "fake" IP will be the tunnel
              endpoint.  Gre_relay plugin will impersonate  the  "fake"  host.
              To  find  an  unused  IP address for the "fake" host you can use
              find_ip plugin.  Based on  the  original  Tunnelx  technique  by
              Anthony         C.         Zboralski         published        in
              http://www.phrack.org/show.php?p=56&a=10 by HERT.

       gw_discover

              This plugin try to discover the gateway of the  lan  by  sending
              TCP SYN packets to a remote host. The packet has the destination
              IP of a remote host and the destination mac address of  a  local
              host.  If  ettercap  receives the SYN+ACK packet, the host which
              own the source mac address of the reply  is  the  gatway.   This
              operation  is  repeated for each host in the ’host list’, so you
              need to have a valid host list before launching this plugin.

              example :

              ettercap -TP gw_discover /192.168.0.1-50/

       isolate

              The isolate plugin will isolate an host form the  LAN.  It  will
              poison   the  victim’s  arp  cache  with  its  own  mac  address
              associated with all the host it tries to contact. This  way  the
              host  will not be able to contact other hosts because the packet
              will never reach the wire.
              You can specify all the  host  or  only  a  group.  the  targets
              specification  work this way: the target1 is the victim and must
              be a single host, the target2 can be a range  of  addresses  and
              represent the hosts that will be blocked to the victim.

              examples :

              ettercap -TzqP isolate /192.168.0.1/ //
              ettercap -TP isolate /192.168.0.1/ /192.168.0.2-30/

       link_type

              It  performs a check of the link type (hub or switch) by sending
              a spoofed ARP request and listening for  replies.  It  needs  at
              least  one entry in the host list to perform the check. With two
              or more hosts the test will be more accurate.

              example :

              ettercap -TQP link_type /192.168.0.1/
              ettercap -TQP link_type //

       pptp_chapms1

              It forces the pptp tunnel to negotiate MS-CHAPv1  authentication
              instead  of  MS-CHAPv2,  that  is  usually  easier to crack (for
              example with LC4).  You have  to  be  in  the  "middle"  of  the
              connection  to use it successfully.  It hooks the ppp dissector,
              so you have to keep them active.

       pptp_clear

              Forces  no  compression/encryption  for  pptp   tunnels   during
              negotiation.   It  could  fail  if  client  (or  the  server) is
              configured  to  hang  off  the  tunnel  if  no   encryption   is
              negotiated.  You have to be in the "middle" of the connection to
              use it successfully.  It hooks the ppp dissector, so you have to
              keep them active.

       pptp_pap

              It   forces   the  pptp  tunnel  to  negotiate  PAP  (cleartext)
              authentication.  It could fail  if  PAP  is  not  supported,  if
              pap_secret  file  is  missing,  or in case windows is configured
              with "authomatic use of domain account". (It could fail for many
              other  reasons  too).   You  have  to  be in the "middle" of the
              connection to use it successfully.  It hooks the ppp  dissector,
              so you have to keep them active.

       pptp_reneg

              Forces re-negotiation on an existing pptp tunnel.  You can force
              re-negotiation for grabbing passwords already sent.  Furthermore
              you can launch it to use pptp_pap, pptp_chapms1 or pptp_clear on
              existing tunnels (those plugins  work  only  during  negotiation
              phase).  You have to be in the "middle" of the connection to use
              it successfully.  It hooks the ppp dissector,  so  you  have  to
              keep them active.

       rand_flood

              Floods  the  LAN  with  random MAC addresses. Some switches will
              fail open in repeating mode, facilitating  sniffing.  The  delay
              between  each packet is based on the port_steal_send_delay value
              in etter.conf.
              It is useful only on ethernet switches.

              example :

              ettercap -TP rand_flood

       remote_browser

              It sends to the browser the URLs sniffed thru HTTP sessions.  So
              you  are  able  to  see  the  webpages in real time. The command
              executed is configurable in the etter.conf(5) file. It sends  to
              the  browser  only  the  GET  requests  and  only  for webpages,
              ignoring single request to images or other amenities.  Don’t use
              it to view your own connection :)

       reply_arp

              Simple  arp  responder.  When it intercepts an arp request for a
              host in the targets’  lists,  it  replies  with  attacker’s  MAC
              address.

              example :

              ettercap -TQzP reply_arp /192.168.0.1/
              ettercap -TQzP reply_arp //

       repoison_arp

              It  solicits  poisoning packets after broadcast ARP requests (or
              replies) from a posioned host.  For example:  we  are  poisoning
              Group1  impersonating  Host2.  If  Host2  makes  a broadcast ARP
              request for Host3, it is possible that Group1 caches  the  right
              MAC  address  for Host2 contained in the ARP packet. This plugin
              re-poisons Group1 cache immediately after a legal broadcast  ARP
              request (or reply).
              This plugin is effective only during an arp-posioning session.
              In  conjuction  with  reply_arp  plugin,  repoison_arp is a good
              support for standard arp-poisoning mitm method.

              example :

              ettercap -T  -M  arp:remote  -P  repoison_arp  /192.168.0.10-20/
              /192.168.0.1/

       scan_poisoner

              Check  if someone is poisoning between some host in the list and
              us.  First of all it checks if two hosts in the  list  have  the
              same  mac address.  It could mean that one of those is poisoning
              us pretending to be the other.  It could  generate  many  false-
              positives  in  a proxy-arp environment.  You have to build hosts
              list to perform this check.  After  that,  it  sends  icmp  echo
              packets  to  each  host in the list and checks if the source mac
              address of the reply differs from the address we have stored  in
              the  list  for that ip.  It could mean that someone is poisoning
              that host  pretending  to  have  our  ip  address  and  forwards
              intercepted  packets  to us.  You can’t perform this active test
              in unoffensive mode.

              example :

              ettercap -TQP scan_poisoner //

       search_promisc

              It tries to find if anyone is sniffing in promisc mode. It sends
              two  different  kinds of malformed arp request to each target in
              the host list and waits for replies. If a reply arrives from the
              target host, it’s more or less probable that this target has the
              NIC in promisc mode. It could generate false-positives.  You can
              launch  it either from the command line or from the plugin menu.
              Since it listens for arp replies it is better that you don’t use
              it while sending arp request.

              example :

              ettercap -TQP search_promisc /192.168.0.1/
              ettercap -TQP search_promisc //

       smb_clear

              It  forces  the  client  to  send  smb password in clear-text by
              mangling protocol negotiation. You have to be in the "middle" of
              the  connection  to  successfully  use  it.  It  hooks  the  smb
              dissector, so you have to keep it active.  If you use it against
              a  windows  client it will probably result in a failure.  Try it
              against a *nix smbclient :)

       smb_down

              It forces the client to  not  to  use  NTLM2  password  exchange
              during  smb  authentication.  This  way,  obtained hashes can be
              easily cracked by LC4.  You have to be in the  "middle"  of  the
              connection  to successfully use it.  It hooks the smb dissector,
              so you have to keep it active.

       stp_mangler

              It sends spanning tree BPDUs pretending to be a switch with  the
              highest  priority.  Once  in  the  "root"  of the spanning tree,
              ettercap can receive all the "unmanaged" network traffic.
              It is useful only against a group of switches running STP.
              If there is another switch with the  highest  priority,  try  to
              manually decrease your MAC address before running it.

              example :

              ettercap -TP stp_mangler
