The ARM based network sniffer and bot inside the wide computer network

Abstract

The paper deals with techniques that allow stealing and manipulating data on the wide computer network. The manipulating device is represented by the ARM(1) minicomputer with Ethernet port. This device includes functions for capturing live data on the network, spoofing DNS2 records and redirecting the secure https connection to the unsecure http. It is possible to control the device remotely and it is suitable for performing many types of attacks. The testing environment is represented by the Windows 7 user workstation and the ARM device as the attacker. The report of attack might show that the big security issue is coming from the wide network with one subnet only.
