Redirect LAN users wherever you want

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008

A couple of days ago I showed you how to spy on other users on your LAN using arpspoof well this builds on that topic and puts you in the drivers seat. We’re going to use dnsspoof another tool in the dsniff suite. dnsspoof is a tool that allows you to pretend to be a users DNS server and basically reply to their DNS requests with whatever you like. For example if they try to go to www.netscape.com you could redirect to www.digg.com

This can become exceedingly difficult when dealing with someone who’s less versed in the nuances of computer use than I’d like.

I know this almost sounds like more trouble. But there is a solution.
