Cybercriminal reveals how to hack with MikroTik — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00so we want to do it you want to take
- 0:03down their Network
- 0:04will you come to the right place as I
- 0:07will show you how to commit cyber crime
- 0:09and along with that I will give you some
- 0:12tips on how to choose the best prison
- 0:15gang available
- 0:22now of course I'm just kidding we're not
- 0:25gonna actually commit a cyber crime but
- 0:27I will show you the steps that somebody
- 0:30could take if they gained an
- 0:32unauthorized access to one of your
- 0:34microtic routers so please do not use uh
- 0:39the steps that I'm about to show you in
- 0:41real world networks as that would be
- 0:44considered a crime and you can be held
- 0:46liable but without further Ado so here's
- 0:50what you could do of course if you had
- 0:53containers enabled you could just put up
- 0:56whatever container image you like Cali
- 0:58image whatever but uh that's not what
- 1:02we're gonna do today we're going to use
- 1:05a feature of traffic generator that I
- 1:10did a video before on but I did not
- 1:13mention a couple of features it has
- 1:16so that's what we're going to look at
- 1:18right now
- 1:19if we go to uh Tool traffic generator
- 1:28it has a command named inject
- 1:31it can Target a specific interface on
- 1:34the router
- 1:35and it accepts the data as a variable so
- 1:39you could literally craft your own
- 1:43packet using router scripting and then
- 1:46inject it into a specific interface now
- 1:49of course that again it requires quite a
- 1:53bit of computing power if you want to
- 1:55craft a lot of packets so you won't be
- 1:58able to do like a flood flood attack
- 2:00but you would be able to do some sort of
- 2:03little
- 2:04surgical move with that so we're not
- 2:07going to use that in this case instead
- 2:11we're going to use the inject P CAP
- 2:14command
- 2:16which takes a pcap file if you don't
- 2:19know what that is it's just a file
- 2:21containing recorded packets
- 2:24so if we have remote access to a router
- 2:27we can simply copy pcap file that has a
- 2:33bunch of maliciously crafted packets and
- 2:35have them injected into the network so
- 2:39let's do that let's create a malicious
- 2:41bcap file
- 2:43I have Kali Linux virtual machine
- 2:46already installed
- 2:50if you want to learn how to do that I
- 2:53suggest you watch my video on kwemu kbm
- 2:56and bird manager as I show you not only
- 2:59how to set up CHR but also other virtual
- 3:02machines there
- 3:04so in Kali Linux I have installed a tool
- 3:08called yersinia
- 3:12now this tool can do a bunch of attacks
- 3:15but the one that I will use this time is
- 3:18a CDP attack
- 3:21CDP stands for Cisco Discovery protocol
- 3:24and it is widely used by networking
- 3:27equipment so
- 3:30the way it works is that there is this
- 3:33specific Mac address that says that is
- 3:35assigned for CDP and any device that
- 3:39accepts Cisco network discovery packets
- 3:43is listening for packets at rest for
- 3:46this particular Mac address
- 3:49and it has to then process them and this
- 3:52can be used to interfere with the
- 3:55correct functioning of the router and
- 3:58quite possibly overloading it and
- 4:00causing a reboot
- 4:02so what we're going to do is create a
- 4:04bridge that is not used by anything and
- 4:08we will launch an attack on this bridge
- 4:11and at the same time I will use
- 4:14Wireshark to record a pickup file
- 4:17terminal I want to create the interface
- 4:28now that I've created the interface I
- 4:30will start up Wireshark
- 4:35as you can see
- 4:37there is this interface I named virtual
- 4:39I'll just start recording
- 4:42now I can open your senior
- 4:48and there on the edit interfaces I can
- 4:50just select this um bridge I just
- 4:54created and disable anything else
- 4:58then I'll click launch attack
- 5:01there's a whole bunch of attacks that
- 5:03you could do here so I'm interested in
- 5:06the CDP flooding attack
- 5:10so I'll just click OK and immediately
- 5:13thousands of packets are being forged
- 5:15and then I'll immediately stop it
- 5:19Now list attacks stop
- 5:23if we do not stop it pretty much
- 5:26immediately it will generate an absurdly
- 5:29large pcap file it's very likely that it
- 5:33will crash your uh Kali a virtual
- 5:36machine so that's why I had to stop it
- 5:39right away
- 5:42now I've stopped the Wireshark as well
- 5:44and I can save the pcap file click on
- 5:48save as
- 5:50let's call it CDP
- 5:53flood
- 5:57and select the pcap file format
- 6:07okay I have it in my home folder and
- 6:09I'll just enable
- 6:11um SSH service so that I can copy this
- 6:14file out of my virtual machine
- 6:17now on my host I can open the terminal
- 6:22do SCP
- 6:24Cali at
- 6:31192.168.122.217 which is the IP address
- 6:33of my virtual machine
- 6:36followed by column
- 6:38and I named it CDP underscore flood
- 6:43dot b cap
- 6:45and I'll save it on my desktop
- 6:51okay I've copied the file as you can see
- 6:53it's already
- 6:55384 megabytes from just those few
- 6:58seconds of generating the attack
- 7:01and now I just need to copy that file
- 7:03onto the router I'll just drag and drop
- 7:05it into the win box
- 7:11okay the file has been copied on four
- 7:15Network conditions of sleep and it will
- 7:16take quite a while you don't necessarily
- 7:19need 300 plus megabytes large pickup
- 7:22file if you launch the attack very
- 7:26briefly it would still be thousands of
- 7:29neighbor Discovery packets and that that
- 7:34might still be enough
- 7:37to cause issues so a smaller 100 Mega
- 7:40megabyte file perhaps would have suited
- 7:43as well you need that storage space or
- 7:46at least enough space on the ram of on
- 7:49this router
- 7:51for this to be possible but I got my
- 7:54pickup file ready so I'll just launch
- 7:56the attack on this unsuspecting Hub AC
- 8:00squared
- 8:02of course if I had this interface
- 8:04connected to a switch with a lot of
- 8:07devices then I would be targeting all of
- 8:11them at the same time if they are
- 8:13listening to the CDP Mac address
- 8:16so I'm just going to click inject B cap
- 8:19select the correct interface which is
- 8:21either five for me select the pickup
- 8:24file
- 8:25so I named it CDP flood
- 8:29and I will also take this Loop check
- 8:32mark
- 8:33before I click Start because if we
- 8:36simply inject in all these packets it
- 8:39will add all of these neighbors to this
- 8:42target router but it might not crash on
- 8:46the other hand if we Loop it the router
- 8:49will still have to process that those
- 8:51packets even if those neighbors already
- 8:53exist so that will cause it to crash
- 8:57if I click Start
- 9:01we should see that a thousand thousands
- 9:04of packets are getting injected
- 9:10so yeah you can see the numbers are
- 9:12going up there's hundreds of thousands
- 9:15over a million of packets injected
- 9:17already and and of course the router
- 9:21disappeared from our neighbors list
- 9:24because it rebooted I will stop the
- 9:26attack
- 9:27let's see when our Target shows up in
- 9:30the neighbor list again
- 9:39it took around 1 million neighbor
- 9:40Discovery packets for this little home
- 9:42router to reboot itself that's more
- 9:46neighbor announcements that it would see
- 9:50in its entire lifetime probably a larger
- 9:53router will probably require more but
- 9:56regardless you can use a relatively low
- 9:59powered Microtech router to wreak havoc
- 10:03on a network
- 10:04thank you for watching I hope you found
- 10:06this interesting and I'll see you in the
- 10:08next one
- 10:14foreign
