MITM

What It Is

A man-in-the-middle attack is a general concept from encryption. It consists of two parties, Alice and Bob, trying to have an encrypted conversation. However, it is foiled by an attacker, Eve, who gets in the middle. This means that Alice and Eve communicate with one encryption key, while Bob and Eve communicate with another key.

Wired Network

Trying Man in the Middle attack with ARP spoofing on a wired network. The configuration:

+----[Target laptop]
|
|      +---[Raspberry Pi]
|      |
|      |
[Router]

How It Will Work

This (wired) man in the middle attack will work by using the Pi to spoof the MAC address of the target.

Preparing the Pi

First, plug the Pi into the router. SSH to it.

Now what?
