Fortunately, a script called airgeddon provides a full set of model cyber attacks in order to test network security. Performing the attack manually can be tricky. However, the captive portal variant is the easiest to perform. There are other types of evil twin attacks that are less obvious, but will still steal your information. Performing an Evil Twin Attackįor the purposes of demonstration, we will be performing a captive portal evil twin attack. In these cases, it is likely that a hacker without the means to connect their evil twin to the internet put up that portal and is trying to steal your passwords. Look out for cases where the network asks for a password, tells you that you have entered the correct password, and then still doesn’t let you connect. This is especially true in the case of captive portal attacks.

It is possible that a hacker has used a Denial of Service (DoS) attack to disconnect you from your original network, or is simply broadcasting a stronger signal than the legitimate network.Īnother warning sign is that the network you connected to does not have a strong connection or has no connection at all. Even if it is quick, you should check to see if you are still on a secured network.

These are the easiest to identify, especially if you know the network you are on does not use a captive portal or that the usual portal looks different.Īnother warning sign of this attack is getting disconnected from your current wi-fi connection. Some formats of the attack will directly ask for sensitive information (such as the captive portal variant). It can be difficult to identify an evil twin attack if properly executed. It uses an “ evil twin” of an existing wi-fi network (a new connection that looks just like the legitimate network) to trick users into providing sensitive information, whether by directly asking for it or by monitoring all network traffic flowing through the evil twin. What is an Evil Twin Attack?Īn evil twin attack is primarily an information-gathering attack. If so, chances are that you have fallen victim to an Evil Twin Attack. What would you do if one day, your own router did this to you? Would you give it your password?

Have you ever used a public wi-fi hotspot? Chances are, you have, and you saw a page that asked you to make an account or give out some account details to access the internet. Note: For this article you will need Kali Linux If you do not have Kali Linux, you can buy a pre-made ready to boot USB with Kali Linux on it from our shop or you can buy Kali Linux on Amazon.
