ARP Spoofing & DNS Sniffing with Kali Linux – Personal Cybersecurity Lab Project

-

 



                 This project demonstrated the fundamental principles of ARP spoofing and passive DNS sniffing. Even though the attacker’s IP doesn't show up in traffic logs, the MAC-level manipulation allows full interception of packets — enabling analysis, logging, or further attack stages (e.g., HTTPS interception using mitmproxy).


Lab Setup

  • Attacker machine: Kali Linux (192.168.0.163)

  • Victim machine: Windows 10 (192.168.0.164)


Tools Used

  • bettercap

  • Wireshark

  • apache2 server on 

  • splunk





A small advice for your protection , use VPN for encrypted traffic.

TryHackMe - Threat Hunting Simulator - Health Hazard

  Scenario overview After months of juggling content calendars and caffeine-fueled brainstorming, co-founder Tom Whiskers finally carved out time to build the company’s first website. It was supposed to be simple: follow a tutorial, install a few packages, and bring the brand to life with lightweight JavaScript magic.   But between sleepless nights and copy-pasted code, Tom started feeling off. Not sick exactly, just off. The terminal scrolled with reassuring green text, the site loaded fine, and everything looked normal.   Then, a strange file appeared on the system. No one could say where it came from. It wasn’t part of the tutorial, didn’t match any known dependencies, and didn’t even run.   It just waited.   Scenario objectives Determine how a threat actor first gained a foothold on the system. Identify suspicious activity that may point to the initial compromise method. Investigate signs of malicious execution following the initial access. Analyse the logs ...

TryHackMe - Typo Snare Threat Hunter Simulator (medium level)

  Threat Hunt Walkthrough The "Typo Snare" scenario on TryHackMe is a fantastic real-world simulation of a sophisticated, multi-stage attack. It starts with a simple mistake and escalates to a full domain compromise, culminating in ransomware. This post will walk you through the entire attack chain, phase by phase, showing you how to find each piece of evidence using Elastic KQL queries. Phase 1: Initial Access & Execution What Happened: The attack began when the user perry.parsons on workstation WKSTN-03 needed a 7-Zip tool. He googled it, clicked a typosquatted link ( 7zipp.org ), and downloaded a trojanized installer. This installer executed a PowerShell script ( 7z.ps1 ) directly from the attacker's server to establish the initial foothold. How to Find It: You are looking for a PowerShell process that was likely spawned by a browser and contains a command to download and execute a script ( iwr for Invoke-WebRequest and iex for Invoke-Expression ). KQL Query...

        Dive into the heat of a live phishing attack as it unfolds within the corporate network. In this high-pressure scenario, your role is to meticulously analyze and document each phase of the breach as it happens. First I let all the alert to come to correlate them together. You start from the CRITICAL ones (0 alert) - HIGH - MEDIUM - LOW. I check all dns alert , all of them was false positive , nothing suspicious . On the Process ones you must to check on splunk , search on google if you don't know the specific process . I make one mistake , with the attashments invoice.pdf.ink , apparently it was true positive , but I check the SHA-256 on VirusTotal , nothing suspicious..  I realy enjoy with this SIM , Have Fun !!
