Chapter 21 DoS Attack with MKD3

Another enterprise security threat is of course the DOS or Denial of service attacks. As the name suggests, a denial of service attack, if successful, prevents other people using the resource or services.

It disrupts the services for other users. There was a case in the press where an individual had decided that he was tired of people using their cell phone while driving so he drove around with a cellular jammer in his car and as he was driving around he was jamming all the frequencies on the cellular network.

So vehicles around him, those people can't use their cell phones and you might say, wow that's a great idea, but you have to remember that law enforcement, ambulances, also use the cellular services.

Therefore when you disrupt frequencies on cellular network for other people, you're also disrupting it for services that you don't want to be disrupting it for. This particular individual was tracked down eventually, and once they found him, and he got arrested, and he got heavily fined.

But, how do you execute a denial of service attack? Well, In wireless there are two major ways. The first is to bombard your Wi-Fi access point with useless traffic. If you create a lot of traffic and the access point is trying to decide what to do with that, does it process all those authentication request?

What if you sent a probe request, and while the access point is dealing with that traffic, it's not dealing with other user traffic. So basically, one approach is just to occupy the access point so it then can't handle legitimate traffic.

The second approach is simply to create noise and interference in the frequency band that the access point is operating on. I can broadcast signals that just disrupt and interfere with any other signals that are going over the air at the same time.

Well, in this chapter, I'm going to share with you how to perform a DOS attack. Denial of service or DOS means that we are going to kicking everybody off of a network and denying them service.

First, we need to attach our wireless network adapter. Once you've done that, you need to open up a terminal and then type;

“ifconfig”

press enter and now you need to open up a text file because you need to make note of some information. First, we're going to make note of our wireless interface which for me is wlan0.

Go ahead and make note of that name. Once you've done that, you can clear your terminal by typing

“clear”

then press Enter. Next, we need to scan available access points so we can find a target, so type;

“iwlist wlan0 scan”

then press Enter. This will list all the available access points, so go ahead and search for a target. Once you've found your target, you need to make note of the e SSID and then you need to make note of the BSSID, and then you need to make note of the channel number.

Once you've done
