If you’re stuck in a hotel room or a college dorm room and would like to have some fun with people the video below will show you how to spoof both SSL and DNS. SSL spoofing will allow you to see things that would normally be encrypted in plain text. DNS spoofing will allow you to send people to any site you want. If they type google.com you can send them to yahoo.com all in the name of fun.

You will need Linux to do this, the best choice would probably be BackTrack. BackTrack is designed to be an out of the box hacking machine. The hacks rely on something called ARP poisoning which I’ve defined below for your reading pleasure.

(n.) Also referred to as ARP poison routing (APR) or ARP cache poisoning, a method of attacking an Ethernet LAN by updating the target computer’s ARP cache with both a forged ARP request and reply packets in an effort to change the Layer 2 Ethernet MAC address (i.e., the address of the network card) to one that the attacker can monitor. Because the ARP replies have been forged, the target computer sends frames that were meant for the original destination to the attacker’s computer first so the frames can be read. A successful APR attempt is invisible to the user.(webopedia)
