Description

Security mechanisms of wireless technologies often suffer weaknesses that can be exploited to perform Man-in-the-Middle attacks, allowing to eavesdrop or to spoof network communication. This project focuses on possibilities of automation of these types of attacks using already available tools for specific tasks. Outputs of this research are the wifimitm Python package and the wifimitmcli CLI tool, both implemented in Python. The package provides functionality for automation of MitM attacks and can be used by other software. The wifimitmcli tool is an example of such software that can automatically perform multiple MitM attack scenarios without any intervention from an investigator. The described software is available online as an open source GitHub repository under MIT license. The repository has been awarded by GitHub Star from 12 users so far. There were 2 unique cloners of the repository in last two weeks despite that the authors do not actively develop this project at the moment. Project's website recorded 56 users from 20 countries. This research is intended to be used for automated penetration testing and to ease forensic investigation. Finally, a popularization of the fact that such severe attacks can be successfully automated should be used to raise the public awareness about the information security. The research was published as a bachelor's thesis and the main author later received dean's award and rector's award. A paper presenting the progress of this research was accepted by Excel@FIT student conference. The submitted paper received the award of an expert panel, the award of NXP Semiconductors company and the award of a professional public. The results of this research were also accepted as a paper for the 9th EAI International Conference on Digital Forensics & Cyber Crime. Bachelor's thesis contains information about 16 experiments. The Excel@FIT paper presents experiments concerning attack's performance impact. The ICDF2C paper describes experiments concerning various network configurations and devices with 125 results. The last paper also shows 7 results of controlled public experiments carried out at the BUT, FIT.

For the purpose of this agreement, Software shall mean a computer program (a group of computer programs functional as a unit) capable of copyright protection and accompanying documentation.

Work based on Software shall mean a work containing Software or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another language, or a work based on Software. Portions of work not containing a portion of Software or not based on Software are not covered by this definition, if it is capable of independent use and distributed separately.

Source code shall mean all the source code for all modules of Software, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable program. Source code distributed with Software need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable program runs.

Anyone who uses Software becomes User. User shall abide by this licence agreement.
BRNO UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY GRANTS TO USER A LICENCE TO USE SOFTWARE ON THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS:
User may use Software for any purpose, commercial or non-commercial, without a need to pay any licence fee.

User may copy and distribute verbatim copies of executable Software with source code as he/she received it, in any medium, provided that User conspicuously and appropriately publishes on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keeps intact all the notices that refer to this licence and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of Software a copy of this licence along with Software. User may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and may offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.

User may modify his/her copy or copies of Software or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on Software, and copy and distribute such modifications or work, provided that User clearly states this work is modified Software. These modifications or work based on software may be distributed only under the terms of section 2 of this licence agreement, regardless if it is distributed alone or together with other work. Previous sentence does not apply to mere aggregation of another work not based on software with Software (or with a work based on software) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium.

User shall accompany copies of Software or work based on software in object or executable form with:

a) the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,

b) written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than actual cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,

c) the information User received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if User received the program in objects code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with subsection b above.)

User may not copy, modify, grant sublicences or distribute Software in any other way than expressly provided for in this licence agreement. Any other copying, modifying, granting of sublicences or distribution of Software is illegal and will automatically result in termination of the rights granted by this licence.
