ICMP Ping Spoofing Attack

Victim’s source IP is spoofed to send a ping to server from Attacker.
As the source IP is spoofed server takes is as a original IP and hence ping reply is sent to victim instead of attacker who send the actual ping request.
Also a sniffer using pcap is built to sniff ICMP packets for verification.

Environments:

• Any Linux Based OS
• libpcap-dev for linux
• Qt4 support for GUI
• Python 2.7+ for GUI

Running the program:

• To run from terminal,
  First run the sniffer with
  ./sniff.sh <net-interface-name>
  Then run the spoofing program,
  ./spoof.sh <source-ip> <destination-ip> <payload>
  Example:

    ./sniff.sh wlp2s0
    ./spoof.sh "1.2.3.4" "8.8.8.8" "spoofed ping"

• To run spoofing using GUI:
  python frontend.py

• To run using mininet
  A virtual topology with 4 hosts is created with mininet using topology-mininet.py.
  run python topology-mininet.py to create the mininet.
  Must use python 2 and use frontend-mininet.py instead of frontend.py as mininet runs as root.
