Wireshark = Hacking tool??

IS THAT TRUE???

Well, it could probably be true; depends on how it is used.

As we know, Wireshark is a tool for a Network analyzer or an IT student in order to be used for watching the traffic of a Network. it's also mostly used for network troubleshooting, analysis, software, and communication protocol development and education. Wireshark is good for everyone who wants to become a Protocol Engineer.

Many people use Wireshark to watch the pattern of data traffic being sent among computers over the network. The Wireshark system actually operates almost like a WORM. It captures the data that is sent out or in to our computer. It also provides us many kinds of information : The protocols we use, messages we sent and many more.

Out of necessity, Gerald Combs (a computer science graduate of the University of Missouri-Kansas City) started writing a program called Ethereal so that he could have a tool to capture and analyze packets; he released the first version around 1998. Pretty soon, this GPLed protocol analyzer caught on. As of now there are over 500 contributing authors while Gerald continues to maintain the overall code and issues releases of new versions. The entire list of authors is available from Wireshark's web-site.

But, WAIT....
I've just known that Wireshark can be used as a Hacking Tool...
"HOW??" is probably the question that always be asked...

This is how to use it....
1) Install wireshark
2) right after u finish, open it


3) click "CAPTURE"=>option=>and choose your Interface (Ethernet Card)
=> click start.
You will see ALL the Traffic in the network. including source, destination, protocol HTTP, TCP, IGMP and many kinds of requests everybody sent trough the Network.



4) Then,write on the Filter : http.request.method=="POST".Press ENTER.
There will be all informations of HTTP protocol showed.
If there is your friend in the same network Logs into one site such as FRIENDSTER.COM while you are capturing the network, you will find the information with this.


5) For Friendster, find the /login.php in the info column

6) see the middle Box. You will see :

_submitted=1&next=%2F&tzoffset=-420&email={nameofemail}%40
{domain}.com&password={nameofpassword}&btnLogIn=Log+In



hahah... now you get THE USERNAME AND PASSWORD of your friend's account.
ENJOY HACKING!^^
