Nice video. But it's obvious that any information regarding SSL/TLS och certificates were intentionally left out to make the attacks seem more serious than they really are, which ultimately favors your sponsor. This means that visiting sites with SSL/TLS with a man in the middle, the attacker can see DNS requests, but any communication between parties are encrypted after the TLS session is set up. Also, if an attack present you with a bad website, your user-agent/web browser will by default present you eith a certificate error.

[@MrTwoZZT]

Can depend how clueless the person having their traffic diverted is, the person doing the man in the middle could do something to get the user to click on a special page to install a custom certificate from the attackers machine and set it as trusted source, that way the attacker can then decrypt the incoming pages and re-encrypt the traffic with their custom certificate, the certificate being trusted on the end users device means that they wont see any errors and the attacker can then see all the data in the encrypted pages. This get used already in corporate/education environments where they have a web filter and want to inspect says a users search traffic for words/terms that they want to block (Proxies, adult content, etc.) and they only way to do this is via HTTPS decrypt and inspect.

@@abdelbakiberkati Tricking a DNS is easy if you are man in the middle. You simply don't have to reroute the traffic back through the router as it was, you can switch around certain key addresses kind of like with a hosts file. No need to trick a DNS at all. The problem lies with encryption. If the encryption keys (which you don't have) don't match, the VPN app will throw a hissy fit. As such we have to rely on the next best thing. You route the data as usual however when the target tries to connect to a VPN, you can simply time out the traffic. The target may think their VPN is down, or not responding or blocked by an ISP or thousands of other things. Meanwhile - chances are they are not going to give up Internet browsing and simply temporarily stop using their VPN.

What makes him differ from a noob is, that he has the budget to buy this expensive tools. I think the noob is the even better hacker, since he has to do everything for himself and has more insights into his commands and tools. Using tools like the Flipper Zero and the Pineapple does not make you automatically a Pro.

[@jegannathS]

Well that's because most people don't do stuff that begs the FBI to raid them so VPN isn't really necessary it's only when you need to 1) watch content that's not available in your area or 2) Bypass a firewall Apart from that a VPN isn't really needed too much or else i might be forgetting some use case. At the top level VPNs aren't used because if you are really doing something BIG then whoever you are up against has enough tech to bypass a VPN and still trace you out. So simply put 1) For beginners VPN is useless coz you aren't really going to use it for such an advanced shit 2) For higher levels you are gonna be traced out anyways so forget it.

[@67fabs]

It depends of the context, a VPN is useful if you want to reach some services in your entreprise or your home network. But the VPN as most people understand it now as NordVPN and etc are almost useless except if you want to emulate your localization to reach some services filtered by countries for examples. All security arguments are quite bullshit (it's quite uncommon to have services running on HTTP and not HTTPS) as better privacy too (lot of these companies are suspected to sell private data and IP addresses are not needed anymore to track users since a long time).

[@billant2]

[@MrPir84free]

Likely, your best recourse would be to have your own private internet connection and be willing to use that instead; like tethering off your smartphone. This is indeed the BEST approach to such restrictive free wifi networks. But there is a looming question that comes to mind: After you start accessing the internet, is then is the VPN connection still blocked ? I don't use NordVPN, but Surfshark; it allows both openvpn and wireguard protocols; so trying another protocol might work; for example, I have 4 options with Surfshark; "automatic", OpenVPN using TCP, OpenVPN using UDP, and Wireguard. If I could not get thru using one of those other protocols, I'd resort to tethered internet from my smartphone!!! Am considering one of the gl.inet Spitz or Spitz AX router with a sim card from a prepaid plan for internet access; currently I have found that the Beryl AX router receives wifi better than my smartphone does, and use one of those to repeat wifi ( and it can handle the vpn as well for all connected devices ). . In the end, I'd resort to using a USB cable and tether my phone up to my computer instead. At a hotel, I might try the Beryl AX to connect to another free wifi and go from there if it works. It does receive signals better than my phone or laptop does; so there is that. Am considering this Spitz AX router simply because I am planning on becoming a professional vacationer soon..

Wifi on a good home internet connection still has a lot of advantages, such as being able to access devices in your local network, often lower latency than mobile and "unlimited" mobile plans not really being unlimited.

[@nilocray]

Even though you captured the data with an MITM attack, as almost all websites use SSL (HTTPS) these days, data is still encrypted and unreadable, so the risk is low. Also with the evil twin attack, there will still be an SSL issue as the fake website (e.g. google login) will not have a valid SSL certificate. And as most web browsers warn if the site is not SSL using HTTP (no SSL), this would require the user to ignore any unsecured website warnings from their device. So VPNs do give an extra layer of protection but it is not required, just don't ignore any warning your device gives you about unsecured websites and all should be good. At least this is how i understand this.

Problem is when there are compromised Root CA certs from time to time. It happens from time to time, and would then allow them to MITM SSL with "legitimate" looking certs.

[@Dinchev666]

Actually this video is very good for awareness purposes regarding most common attacks. In reality, none if this are actually an issue, because almost all traffic right now is encrypted and what the attacker will see are mostly hashes. However they can get all the information and run it against a password guessing software like Jack the ripper and if the password is less complex or known it can be displayed. Also, even though your browser will notify you regarding a missing SSL certificate if the attacker can create a website with a valid SSL that can be part of a DNS poisoning and essentially steal credentials. Even though the attacks here are mostly obsolete, they can be modified to be actually malicious. Also the noob should be the one with Pineapple, as this device can be bough for $99 and with GUi interface can do everything automatically. The real Pro is the one doing everything manually, as they can create scripts to do it automatically.

[@pablodavico]

I'd say it depends. For example on what type of data the attacker is targeting and what kind of control they already have. The legit encrypted traffic will be useless for the attacker. But Chuck also mentioned captive portal or dns hijacking with the fake website. If the attacker uses that with a valid ssl certificate which is trusted by the victim's browser, an oblivious victim might not notice that they are visiting a fake website. For example if they just see the padlock icon and assume it's safe while never verifying the certificate. This is still a type of mitm that can work to steal passwords or other form data.

Ok, hacker can do a man-in-the middle attack either ARP spoofing or faking entire Wi-Fi network. What's next? Monitoring which servers users connects? Hoping the user will try to use some unencrypted service like HTTP (without "S") website? VPN is a good thing, but SSL do its job as well, so any of the attacks mentioned in video will not make any visible profit.

Why using airodump, or hcxdumptool, its obsolete, just use bettercap with auto PMKID fakeauth clientless attack. Collecing WPA handshakes is old, and not productive. Everyone uses 5ghz and deauth attack doesn't work there. Aircrack is also obsolete, because there is hashcat, which can utilize gpu to increase performance a lot. Not legal advice 😂😉

Most of the stuff in this video, while theoretically possible, is already protected against in a bunch of ways. That's why we have HTTPS and SSL, that render pinapple nearly useless. And also, all routers can be spoofed, it's not as simple as buying the right thing.

I love your content and this video was great. I would think that using a pineapple would be n00b level, since you don't have to know anything or even really configure anything, that's like pay-to-win hacking right there. Setting up an attack manually to the point where you have to mess with getting hardware working on your laptop and compiling your own kernel modules like it's the 90's and you're trying to get your sound working on Debian, is a rather pro pathway.

VPN's very useful before most sites were HTTPS encrypted (5+ years ago). Nowadays it's a waste of double encryption, loss of speed and increase in latency. It's just a bunch of fear mongering, unless you're doing illegal stuff, it's useless.

[@ArturoVillanueva-g5v]

What you didn't mention is that the hacker needs to have that antenna in order to be able to monitor a network because the laptop's built network card does not allow monitoring, so that makes him really obvious because unless he hides that antenna he will be seen using it. Of course most people don't know that so they will still be hacked.

[@zvxcvxcz]

That's not always true, some laptops do have network cards that allow monitoring. One of mine did, just added a small second USB one to connect to the network that would be spoofed. Also, some of those small USB ones allow monitoring. While the antenna is nice for the boosted signal, for smaller range work you really don't need them.

I would speculate that there are more coffee shops without IP binding than with. In fact, I would bet that more than half of coffee shops are using the modem/router their ISP provided.

if you're victim to man in the middle, and then connect to VPN, or begin a subscription, doesnt the middle man just have a vpn connection now, which they spoof forward to you?

[@mikeiver]

My take aways are. 1. The wifi Pinapple Enterprise is one scarry device! 2. Never use public WiFi. 3. A VPN is not a bad idea if you simply want to surf the internet and do basic stuff in private. One of the primary needs when I purchased my laptop was that it had a cellular modem built in. Sure I could tether to my cell phone but then there is the WiFi again. The built in cellular modem negates any need of WiFi connection most of the time and allows for marginally better security. In my case the bit rate of the cellular modem in the laptop is also much higher thanks to much superior antennas compared to that of being tethered to my cell phone. This allows me to turn off WiFi when I travel which is what I do. Yes I am aware that there are also cellular hacks and devices like the pineapple (Stingray) too but the cost of entry and implementation is considerably higher limiting vulnerability. Another good infomercial.

[@KipIngram]

Those little girls in The Shining... that was one of the most eerily creepy shots I've ever seen in a movie. The other one was of a ball bouncing across the floor. I know - that sounds crazy. But it was in a movie with George C. Scott called The Changeling. He moved into this house after his wife died. It was haunted by the ghost of a little boy. The boy still liked to play with his ball, and it kept rolling around the house. Finally George C. Scott took it and dropped it off of a bridge miles away. When he got back and walked in the door, that ball came bouncing across the floor toward him, and this time it was like it was ANGRY. He shoved himself back up against the door in terror, and I wanted to hide behind my chair. It's amazing how good directors can manipulate our moods in these movies.

What about if the pc you’re trying to mim attack is on Ethernet like for example my downstairs pc is connected to WiFi5ghz via Ethernet to router while my upstairs is wireless but still on wifi5ghz . Could I still detect it.

[@fireteamomega2343]

Yeah it's possible but technically it's hardwired and not broadcasting over the WiFi to access your ISP. Assuming your using fiber or cable and your router connects directly via Ethernet to your modem or is an all in one. So to detect it I would have to compromise your router rather than access your wifi. Because that's where the traffic for that computer is coming and going. Which honestly isn't that difficult most people don't even change the OEM password.

[@Georgggg]

All these attacks not working IRL because of https certificates.
