Creating a Fake Access Point The imporatance of creating a fake access point is that, we allowing an open AP, the clients will visit in-order to have free internet connection and as this is an open AP, there won't be any encryption and we can easily sniff through the details they have been using in the internet. The tool using for this purpose is mana-toolkit, which will start up with 3 options 1) start-noupstream // Start an AP with no internet conneciton 2) start-nat-simple // Start an AP with regular internet connection in the upstream interface. 3) start-nat-full // Starts an AP with internet connection, but it also starts sslstrip/ sslsplit and firelamp and attempts to bypass HSTS. start-nap-simple configuration file : /etc/mana-toolkit/hostapd-mana.conf Script to start the mana tool # bash /usr/share/mana-toolkit/run-mana/start-nat-simple.sh
