All your wireless belong to us - Hacker

If you haven't read the news about all WPA2 protocol is vulnerable.

CERT Coordination Center (CERT/CC) has released information on Wi-Fi Protected Access II (WPA2) protocol vulnerabilities. Exploitation of these vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to take control of an affected system. The vulnerabilities are in the WPA2 protocol, not within individual WPA2 implementations, which means that all WPA2 wireless networking may be affected. Source: Vulnerability Note VU#228519

It is a vulnerability attacking all modern Wireless Access Point that use WPA2 protocol to exploit clients connected on the wireless network. Exploiting this vulnerability requires the following:
  • Programming skills to run against the key reinstallation attacks (Kracks), currently the proof of concept script is not (yet) available to the public.
  • The attacker needs to be close to the WAP, know the SSID which is broadcasting by default.
  • Clone the wireless network and create a rouge channel.
  • Forwarding traffic to the rouge wireless network.
  • Initiate the SSLStrip tool to bypass SSL, commonly known as https that you see on a secured website.
  • Use Wireshark tool or other network snipping tool to capture wireless network traffic. This will see all the data in plain text e.g. username and password.
  • And do whatever they want on a stolen user credentials.
As you can see, the actions must be completed by someone who know how to initiate the attack. It is not designed for script kiddies.

Learning Vulnerability Scanning by KING.NET

Learning Vulnerability Scanning is fun and easy. So I hope you enjoy reading this short how to guide on how to use vulnerability scanning to secure your servers and networks. NMAP is the swiss tool that you need to learn if you're serious in Cyber Security profession. The NMAP tool can be use with NSE scripting (Nmap Scripting Engine) to automate your tasks. For example using NSE Script using a  single vulnerability (cold fusion)  to scan our test lab machine. root@kali:~# nmap -v -p 80  --script http-vuln-cve2010-2861  10.11.1.220 Starting Nmap 6.47 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2016-07-22 17:34 EDT NSE: Loaded 1 scripts for scanning.
