Wireless Hacking Part -2

Wireless CTS/RTS Flooder

This module sends 802.11 CTS/RTS requests to a specific wireless peer, using the specified source address.

Module Options

ADDR_DST	TARGET MAC (e.g 00:DE:AD:BE:EF:00)
ADDR_SRC	Source MAC (not needed for CTS)
CHANNEL	The initial channel (default: 11)
DRIVER	The name of the wireless driver for lorcon (default: autodetect)
INTERFACE	The name of the wireless interface (default: wlan0)
NUM	Number of frames to send (default: 100)
TYPE	Type of Frame (RTS, CTS) (default: RTS)
VERBOSE	Enable detailed status messages
WORKSPACE	Specify the workspace for this module

Theory

RTS/CTS (Request to Send / Clear to Send) is the optional mechanism used by the 802.11 wireless networking protocol to reduce frame collisions introduced by the hidden node problem. Originally the protocol fixed the exposed node problem as well, but modern RTS/CTS includes ACKs and does not solve the exposed node problem.

A node wishing to send data initiates the process by sending a Request to Send frame (RTS). The destination node replies with a Clear To Send frame (CTS). Any other node receiving the RTS or CTS frame should refrain from sending data for a given time (solving the hidden node problem). The amount of time the node should wait before trying to get access to the medium is included in both the RTS and the CTS frame. This protocol was designed under the assumption that all nodes have the same transmission ranges.

RTS/CTS is an additional method to implement virtual carrier sensing in Carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA). By default, 802.11 relies on physical carrier sensing only which is known to suffer from the hidden node problem.

Source Code Demystified:

In this auxiliary module a very large number of RTS and CTS packets are created and send to the wireless network in order to do denial of service attack.This will create the collision in the network and finally result in a denial of service.

As you can see below in the source code also two different packet rts and cts are create using the function create_rts and create_cts.

Hacking Windows 10 UWP App: DLL Injection & common Vulnerabilities

I recently started working on widows 10 Apps( Apps not Applications) security. Before diving deep in hacking terms lets try to understand what's new in Windows 10 UWP( Universal Platform) as compared to old Apps. Lets begin with how apps actually work on windows 10(desktop/tablet). Now windows 10 comes with a container only for running apps inside the isolated environment. By default, /APPCONTAINER(Linker Flag) is off. This option modifies an executable to indicate whether the app must be run in the appcontainer process-isolation environment. Specify /APPCONTAINER for an app that must run in the appcontainer environment—for example, a Windows Store app. (The option is set automatically in Visual Studio when you create a Windows Store app from a template.) For a desktop app, specify /APPCONTAINER:NO or just omit the option. The /APPCONTAINER option was introduced in Windows 8. Now there is no registry entry concept for these app in the System HIVE rather they install they own hiv...

SSI Injection Attack

SSIs are directives present on Web applications used to feed an HTML page with dynamic contents. They are similar to CGIs, except that SSIs are used to execute some actions before the current page is loaded or while the page is being visualized. In order to do so, the web server analyzes SSI before supplying the page to the user. The Server-Side Includes attack allows the exploitation of a web application by injecting scripts in HTML pages or executing arbitrary codes remotely. It can be exploited through manipulation of SSI in use in the application or force its use through user input fields. It is possible to check if the application is properly validating input fields data by inserting characters that are used in SSI directives, like: Code: < ! # = / . " - > and [a-zA-Z0-9] Another way to discover if the application is vulnerable is to verify the presence of pages with extension .stm, .shtm and .shtml. However, the lack of these type of pages does not mean that th...
