What is Bettercap?

Bettercap allows for a range of attacks on Wi-Fi networks and also on other low energy networks like Bluetooth for example. 

Some of the features of Bettercap include:

  • Network monitoring: Bettercap can be used to monitor network traffic and identify potential security issues.

  • Packet injection: Bettercap can inject custom packets into a network to test its security.

  • Man-in-the-middle attacks: Bettercap can be used to perform man-in-the-middle attacks on a network, allowing an attacker to intercept and modify network traffic.

  • Password sniffing: Bettercap can be used to capture passwords and other sensitive information transmitted over a network.

  • DNS spoofing: Bettercap can be used to spoof DNS responses, allowing an attacker to redirect traffic to a malicious website.


Bettercap is a versatile tool that can be used for both offensive and defensive purposes. It is commonly used by security professionals to test the security of their networks and identify potential vulnerabilities.


How to install Bettercap?

Step 1: Install the application on Linux. 

 run  sudo apt install bettercap 

Step 2: See if the app has been downloaded on the Linux.

run  sudo bettercap --help 
run  sudo bettercap 


Run the above to successfully install Bettercap on linux. 



How to detect devices? 

Now we are going to use bettercap to detect the devices that are connected to a Wi-Fi network. 


Step 1:  Launch bettercap and a network probe. 

run sudo bettercap
run net.probe on 




 Launching a network probe will allow you to see everyone on the network and what devices are using the same Wi-Fi network. 

 The image here shows the devices as well as my laptop that are connected to my Wi-Fi network. 


Step 2: run net.show    
                     
  This lists all the devices available on the network.                    

                     

                    
 

                                
Conclusion  

-One can find out what devices are connected to their Wi-Fi network. 
-This can also allow one to detect whether any outsiders are using the same Wi-Fi network or not.

UPLOADING & CLONING ON GITHUB

Here, we are going to learn how to upload and clone a project using command lines on GitHub. The IDE being used here is VS Code .  Table of contents: Introduction create a repository  command lines in VS Code  clone a repository  Introduction GitHub is a powerful platform that empowers developers to collaborate, store, manage code, and contribute to open-source projects.  Here are some key things you can do with GitHub: allows one to track changes in one's code across different versions - o ne can commit changes, create branches, and merge them back together.  create repositories (or “repos”) on GitHub to store your code.  Multiple people can work on the same project simultaneously without conflicts.  GitHub includes a wiki and an issue tracker , making it easy to create in-depth documentation and receive feedback about your project. Create a repository To get started, open your GitHub account and sign in.   You will see an interf...

Cryptography

THE ART OF CRYPTOGRAPHY  Table of contents  What is cryptography?  Protocols understanding cryptographic methods math behind encryption What is cryptography? Cryptography involves the hiding or coding of information using keys such that only the intended recipient can view it. It is crucial to encrypt data so that it does not get forged or tampered by any untrusted parties such that the privacy and confidentiality of the messages is kept known only to the sender and recipient.  Protocol s There are two types of encryption protocols: SSL TLS Both are encryption protocols for the internet's transport layer help to protect data on webservers and websites. They rely on a set of private and public keys to encode messages into meaningless form so that it cannot be read by anyone who does not know how to decode it. But to use both protocols, a certificate needs to be installed on the server.  Example:   Have you ever noticed that a webpage address s...
