AirPWN
What is AirPWN?
AirPWN? is a tool that first debuted at DefCon 12.
AirPWN? acts as a man in the middle tool for wireless networks. It takes advantage of the time that a website takes to respond to normal page requests. In that lag time, it can inject its own content onto the wireless channel of an access point. For instance, you may request a page from wikipedia.org that takes, round-trip, approximately 125 ms. If someone near you is running the airpwn tool, it will see your request and immediately respond with its own web page and/or content because it is much closer and takes much less time to respond. When your computer receives the data, it will think the original request was answered and display the page. When the real web page is presented, it will either ignore the page, or display some of the content. AirPWN? can be configured to carefully craft responses so that your browser will ignore the real web content as it would with html comments.
In this article i walk you through installing AirPWN on Ubuntu Linux 10.04 and 10.10.
