DNS poisoning

Hey guys Smile this Tutorial is about DNS poisoning on your network using Cain & Abel.


Download Cain here http://www.oxid.it/cain.html


This Tutorial Will be limited to just redirecting the traffic to another website.

First What is the DNS ? (wikipedia.org)


The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical naming system for
computers, services, or any resource connected to the internet or a
private network. It associates various information with domain names
assigned to each of the participants. Most importantly, it translates
domain names meaningful to humans into the numerical (binary)
identifiers associated with networking equipment for the purpose of
locating and addressing these devices worldwide. An often used analogy
to explain the Domain Name System is that it serves as the "phone book"
for the Internet by translating human-friendly computer hostnames into
IP addresses. For example, http://www.example.com translates to 208.77.188.166.






What does poisoning the DNS allow us to do ?


It allows us to redirect the traffic to another website.






First This is the structure of the network :




Board Image


1 , 2 and 3 are computers






1 is the computer being the gateway (could be a router) (172.128.254.1)






2 is the target computer (172.128.254.10)






3 is the attacker using cain






Note : IPs are just used for this tutorial and chosen randomly.






Our work is on computer number 3.


__________________________________________________  ______






1-After you install cain , open it and go to the sniffer tab






2-Click on configure and choose your adapter


Board Image


3-Enable the sniffer (click on the second icon in the toolbar next to the open icon)






4-Right click in the empty area and choose scan MAC addresses. We get the results above.






5-Click on the APR Tab


Board Image


6-Click on the + sign in the toolbar to add a new ARP poison routing


Board Image


7-choose the gateway which is 172.128.254.1 , in the next list you’ll
get the IP of the computer 2 which is 172.128.254.10 and click ok


Board Image


8-now click on the APR-DNS tab


Board Image






9-click on the + sign






10-enter the web address that you want to spoof , (in this case when the
user goes to facebook he’ll be redirected to myspace) click on resolve
type the web address that you want to redirect the user to it, and click
ok, and you’ll get the IP of the web address, then click ok


Board Image


you'll get something like this:


Board Image


11-now to make this work we have to enable APR poisoning , click on the
icon next to the sniffer icon, and everything should work as we expect.






Now the computer 2 will get the routes poisoned and when the user requests http://www.facebook.com he will be redirected to http://www.myspace.com .


Imagine what you can do with this technique.






I hope this was a good tutorial for you guys , and please leave your feedback.
