Lab Description

In this hands-on lab, you’ll operate within a simulated network environment where you adopt the roles of both attacker and defender to explore common network session attacks. The lab begins with a UDP session hijacking exercise using Netcat and Scapy, where you’ll intercept active communication between two endpoints. This demonstrates how vulnerable sessions can be manipulated when proper security controls are absent.

You’ll then delve into IP spoofing, using HPing3 and Wireshark to simulate how attackers can falsify IP addresses to masquerade as trusted entities. By monitoring the spoofed traffic, you’ll gain insight into detection and response techniques. Next, you will implement DNS hijacking to redirect user traffic from a legitimate domain to a crafted phishing page. This illustrates the risks of unsecured DNS and how attackers exploit them to harvest sensitive credentials.

Finally, the lab guides you through an ARP spoofing scenario to execute a Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attack. Using ARP manipulation, you’ll intercept traffic flowing between devices and extract critical data, emphasizing the importance of ARP monitoring and secure switch configurations. Throughout this lab, you will develop an in-depth understanding of session-level attacks and strengthen your awareness of the tools and tactics used by attackers to compromise network communication.
