Setting up a SNIFFLAB

Detailed Guide

Please consult the detailed guide on setting up your own Snifflab network here: https://openeffect.ca/snifflab-an-environment-for-testing-mobile-devices/

sniffer.py command line arguments

-i (specify the network interface)
-s (specify the file size limit)
-t (specify the time interval, in seconds, between new PCAP files)
-f (specify a filename suffix to append to each PCAP.
-u (specify a ssh username for a remote backup)
-h (specify a ssh host for remote backup)
-p (specify the path on the remote host for backup)

Firewall rules on DD-WRT router to send traffic to MITM proxy box

Make sure the network interface (vlan1 here) is correct.

PROXYIP=your.proxy.ip
iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -j ACCEPT -p tcp -m multiport --dports 80,443 -s $PROXYIP
iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -j MARK --set-mark 3 -p tcp -m multiport --dports 80,443
ip rule add fwmark 3 table 2
ip route add default via $PROXYIP dev vlan1 table 2

PCAP machine scripts

/etc/network/interfaces

auto lo

iface lo inet loopback

iface eth0 inet manual

iface eth1 inet manual

allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
iface default inet dhcp

auto bond0
iface bond0 inet dhcp
bond-mode 3
bond-miimon 100
slaves eth0 eth1

/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1

network={
        ssid=""
        psk=hashofyourpassword
        proto=RSN
        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
        pairwise=TKIP
        auth_alg=OPEN
}

Getting the network running correctly on boot

/etc/init.d/network.sh

#!/bin/sh
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:		network.sh
# Short-Description:	Ensure WiFi as well as Ethernet interfaces are up
# Description:
# Default-Start:	2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop:		0 1 6
# Required-Start:	$remote_fs $syslog
# Required-Stop:	$remote_fs $syslog
### END INIT INFO
sudo ifplugd eth0 --kill
sudo ifup wlan0
sudo ifup eth0
sudo ifup eth1
sudo ifconfig eth1 promisc
sudo ifconfig eth0 promisc
exit 0

Start capturing packets on startup -- create a sniffer service

/etc/init/sniffer.conf

#sniffer.conf
start on runlevel [2345]
stop on runlevel [016]

script
	cd /home/pi/snifflab
	exec python sniffer.py -i bond0 -s 100 -t 1200
end script

MITM proxy service

mitm.conf

start on filesystem

script
	sudo iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -i em1 -p tcp -m multiport --dports 80,443 -j REDIRECT --to-port 4567
	SSLKEYLOGFILE=/var/log/mitmkeys.log
	export SSLKEYLOGFILE
	echo "MITM Keys being logged here: $SSLKEYLOGFILE"
	exec mitmdump -T --host --conf=/etc/mitmproxy/common.conf
end script

Script to backup pcaps to local machine

#!/bin/bash
remote_server=yourservername
pcap_dir=/pcaps
keylogfile=/var/log/mitmkeys.log
local_dir=~/Documents/snifflab

rsync -a "$remote_server":$pcap_dir $local_dir
scp "$remote_server":$keylogfile $local_dir
