How hackers steal passwords from HTTP websites
Hi All, Welcome to another Techie Talk
What is ARP and what about its done
Usually computer use protocol called ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) lets see how its work.
when we need to go to website 1st broadcasting a message to the network and saying who has the gateway ip address. everyone listen this message but gateway responded to the relevant mac address with the ip it looking for. after that send the message to gateway and gateway forward the message to destination that need to go. and when the response came to the gateway it will get and come to you that’s how all the process works.
How the Attacker Attacks you
The attacker behaves like a gateway and he got all the traffic of yours and send to the destination. he is in the middle so that’s called MITM (Man In the Middle Attack). so he had all the sending and receiving data of yours. once he act like a gateway and say he is the gateway so you send the request to it then attacker acts like you( using your ip address) and send it to the real gateway. in this scenario he use ARP poisoning to map gateway’s IP address to its own mac address.
