These are a collection of demonstration videos where I show how to do particular things.
I create these videos because it is often not possible to do these demonstrations live.
Often, this is because a university is unappreciative if you demonstrate how to hack
into their systems.
This video demonstrates the Denial of Service (DoS) attack software Slowloris.
The video first reviews how HTTP works and that while HTTP is stateless, it
is on top of the stateful TCP. We then show how using small packets,
Slowloris can keep a HTTP connection alive, effectively blocking access
to other users.
This video demonstrates a Man In The Middle (MITM) attack by sending fake
ARP packets. The software doing the work is called Ettercap. Ettercap
works by (1) causing a target machine to think the attacker is all other machines
and (2) telling all other machines the attacker is the target machine.
In this way, information is routed through the attacker who can
then listen in for useful information like passwords.
This video demonstrates InSSIDer, a tool used for scanning the airwaves for WiFi SSIDs. One practical use for InSSIDer
is to determine which WiFi channel to put your wireless access point on. Of course, InSSIDer is also a hacking
reconnaissance tool, because it tells you a lot about the WiFi networks in the area.
