Lecture Transcript - Post Connection Attacks Introduction

And the section we're going to talk about post connection attacks, so attacks that you can do after

connecting to your target network.

Now, it doesn't matter whether the target network is a Wi-Fi network or a wired or an Internet network,

it really doesn't matter.

As long as you gained access to this network, as long as you're able to connect to it, you'll be able

to do all of the attacks that I'm going to show you in the section.

Now, you'll notice once connected, you can do so many cool things, so you'll be able to gather detailed

information about all of the clients connected to the same network.

You'll also be able to intercept data and see any usernames, passwords or any information they use

on the Internet.

You'll be able to modify data as it's being sent in the air.

So you'll be able to inject eval code and do so many cool things on the network.

Now, to do all of the attacks that I'm going to show you, and here you have two options.

The first option is to run the attacks against the virtual not network against the Windows machine.

You just need to make sure that the virtual Windows machine is connected to the same not network as

the candy machine.

Or you can run the attacks against real computers connected to your real Wi-Fi network.

And you need to make sure that you have a wireless interface connected to the candy machine.

And the candy machine needs to be connected to your target Wi-Fi network.

Now, throughout the section, I'm actually going to be using both options, so I'm going to be running

some attacks against the Wi-Fi network and I'll be running some against my virtual network just to make

sure that you're comfortable with running all of these attacks in different environments and in different

networks, because like I said, it doesn't really matter how you gained your access to the network.

The network type doesn't really matter either, as long as you are able to connect to the target network.
