Abstract:
The idea behind our project
is to determine a Man-in-the-Middle
Attack over a wireless WPA secured network. A Man-in-the-Middle attack is one
where a system is used to intercept the network traffic of another machine
and then pass it to the place it would like to go. This way the traffic can
be stored and monitored. The replies can also be modified as needed with
Trojan code or well anything else you would like. To do this, we will set up
a 802.11g router with WPA encrypted protocol and have one computer running Windows
XP to generate traffic. Another Unix machine will then be used to sniff the
wireless key and perform the Man-in-the-Middle attack.
