Hello, and before you ask, I am using the dsniff suite for legal activities, you see, I have an Iphone (my poor Dad's) that has a password for his email, and I nor he can recover it (yes, I tried contacting the mail provider and the cellular provider, point blank, they each say that it's the others responsibility. I did try the mailing list, I get

Code:

"dsniff-request@monkey.org":

SMTP error from remote server after RCPT command:

host: mx.monkey.org.cust.b.hostedemail.com

5.7.1 <dsniff-request@monkey.org>: Recipient address rejected: user dsniff-request@monkey.org does not exist

I tried to run arpspoof: arpspoof 192.168.4.5 and it hangs for at least a minute before I kill it, I have to use SIGKILL. I am running it as root on gentoo linux. The version is 2.4_beta1-r8, the latest in my package manager.
I'm really not a cracker, so please forgive my ignorance.

You need to use the -i to specify interface and the -t flag to specify the target. Just running arpspoof <ipaddress> will not suffice.

So on my laptop it would be this command:

Quote:

arpspoof -i wlan0 -t 192.168.1.20

Keep in mind though, if there is SSL involved you will need to use something to strip out the encryption during the man in the middle attack. You will also need to enable ip forwarding.

To enable ip forwarding in Linux run the following:

Quote:

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

In regards to stripping SSL, check out the SSLStrip website: http://www.thoughtcrime.org/software/sslstrip/

Only after you take the steps of executing SSLStrip and ip forwarding will dsniff be able to provide the password in clear text.

Here is a good tutorial outlining how it all works.
