Here is how a hacker may conduct an ARP spoofing to perform a man-in-the-middle attack using a tool called Backtrack, a hacking toolkit that is similar to Kali Linux:

Step 1: Sniff out the data you need

This can be done by using the tools Wireshark, dsniff, and tcpdump. By firing up these tools, you can see all the traffic that you can connect to through wireless or wired networks.

Step 2: Use a wireless adapter and put it into monitor mode

When you place your wireless adapter or your NIC into monitor mode, you will be able to pick up all the traffic available to your connection, even the ones that are not intended for your IP address. If you are connected to hubbed networks, you can pick up the traffic that you need without any difficulty. However, if you are planning to infiltrate a switched system, you may need to opt for a different tactic, since switches are regulate the traffic and ensure that specific data packets are sent to specific MAC addresses or IP addresses.
