I am attempting to simulate a middle-man attack with dsniff running on
a SuSE VMWare virtual machine on an XP host. Everything runs great if
I use a bridge connection for VMWare and the local area connection.
However, when I attempt the same attack using the wireless connection
(on the XP host), the attack fails.
Apparently, arpspoof broadcasts the physical address of the wireless
card rather then the MAC address of the SuSE virtual machine. From
what I understand this is a limitation of the 802.11 protocol.
I am thinking as a workaround, that I can enable some kind of IP
forwarding from the Windows XP host to the SuSE virtual machine and be
back in business. Does anyone have any ideas? I appreciate your time
and effort.
Thanks.
