While capturing passwords with Wireshark may look effective, during penetration tests it is not very practical. It is because we have to inspect every packet with our own eyes to find the passwords. Ngrep network grep is one of our favorite tools when it comes to quick network analysis. It is like the grep program or findstr. Ngrep allows to search through network traffic and match for any kind of string or pattern.
It supports regular expressions and also hexadecimal expressions binary strings. Ngrep was written by Jordan Ritter.
Although Ngrep is very powerful, it is not the ultimate solution for capturing passwords. Not every network protocol uses an easily match-able authentication format e. Furthermore, we will also likely get a lot of noise false positives with our patterns. In the end of the day, we would not be able to match all the passwords that we captured above with Wireshark. Ettercap project is another tool that we can use for capturing passwords. It is a comprehensive suite for man-in-the-middle attacks and It was specifically designed for sniffing passwords out of the network traffic.
Ettercap was originally written by Alberto Ornaghi and Marco Valleri. Ettercap supports a whole range of network protocols and not just the plain text ones — it supports also variety of binary network protocols. It can recognize many authentication methods and it can sniff out not only passwords, but also password hashes which can be consequently cracked with hashcat, john the ripper or similar tool. Unfortunately, our experience is that Ettercap sometimes fails to recognize credentials.
This is also true with the latest version 0. On the other hand, no other tool is able to recognize hashes and output them in a crack friendly format to crack them with john the ripper, for instance. Tshark is probably the best solution to capture passwords from the network in an automated way. Even though it can produce a lot of noise, Tshark will be the least likely to miss something, because it uses the same libraries and dissectors as Wireshark does.
That means an unparalleled number of supported protocols. We simply pipe it to the grep command and look for patterns associated with authentication:. This section provides answers to some of the frequently asked questions when it comes to capturing network traffic with Wireshark.
Most of these are applicable to any packet sniffer. In most cases no. Running a fully passive packet sniffer cannot be detected since it is only passively listening on the network. But in certain circumstances it can be detected and this is applicable to every packet sniffer. There is a technique to detect packet sniffer which works only if the sniffing host:.
The sniffing host will receive it and the operating system will respond to it despite the fact that it is not addressed to it. There is an Nmap script for this method available here. Yes, Wireshark is generally safe to use. However, keep in mind that it is a software as any other and so it may contain vulnerabilities. See the full list of Wireshark vulnerabilities on this page.
Always use the latest version from the official website to minimize any potential risk. Yes it can. As long as the packets from other computers are arriving to our network interface, Wireshark will be definitely able to capture them. This is because it is running in a promiscuous mode and therefore it is capturing everything that arrives to it. But the question is what will arrive to us? This is very much dependent on our logical position in the network. Are we running Wireshark on a router gateway?
Are we on a wireless network? Are we on a switched network? Are we capturing traffic from a SPAN port? It simply all depends. Generally speaking, we can only capture traffic that is coming to our network interface. Please enter your email address! Please mark, I'm not a robot!
