Aerial v. 0.14.0.9 - Thu 09 Oct 2014
Aerial is on of the easiest ways to create a full capable*, high speed*, at any band (5GHz or 2.4GHz), high through IEEE 802.11n* or not, with Wi-Fi protected setup* (WPS) or not, Software Access point on a Kali-Linux box with manipulated/intercepted/injected/ forced/proxied/MITMed or not traffic.
*When Hostapd is used and depending on your wireless NIC's capabilities.
Aerial is the continuous development of 2009's "wlan_nick" bash script:
First of all Aerial is a HUGH bash script. Maybe it's the longest bash script you ever seen. It's an 8000 lines long including comments, references, examples etc. I think, this is no good. I'm sure that there is a easiest way to write it but unfortunately I only know bash scripting and my programming skills are very limited. (Self learning person). My main concerned was and is to write it in a way that it should be understandable by me. My main goal was to setup a safe environment to run my tests and do my experiments and as an result I write Aerial. Aerial is a summary of various small bash scripts. I modified it allot, I add so many examples of correct usage, so it could be understandable by any person and not only by me. I decide to release it to the public with the hope that it should be useful for someone else except me.
The script is meanly splitted in two major sections:
- How will we create the SoftAP and how we want it to act. e.g. Hostapd or airbase-ng based / in which band it will broadcast / it should be encrypted (WEP/WPA2) or not (OPEN) / WPS should be enabled/ DHCP server / DNS forward etc.
- Now that we have created the SoftAP, what we should do with the incoming and outgoing traffic ? (encrypted or not). Here comes the "14 modes". As long as we have the clients connected to our Kali box, we can do whatever we want with that traffic. We can intercept, proxy, redirect, do MITM attacks, force the clients to visit a specific page, inject Java code etc.
No installation is required. Just run it by :
sh Aerial.sh
Relax and let the script download/install, create CA certificates etc that is needed. DO NOT INTERRUPT IT. Let it finish. A new folder named "Aerial" will be created. Everything you want to find will be in that folder, e.g. -aerial.conf (This script's configuration file) -hostapd.conf (Hostapd configuration file) -CA-certificates folder and the included certificates. -Backup folder with the included files. -etc
When a "Mode" in executed then a new folder will be created with the corresponding name (e.g sslsplit) into the "Aerial" folder with all the files (configuration, logs etc) that invoke that "Mode". So the only thing that you have to do, is to run any "Mode" and then look at the corresponding folder of that "Mode". If a "Mode" is never executed, none folder will be created for that "Mode".

1. Simple WLAN - Clients can access Internet.
----------------------------------------------
Aerial will act as an Access Point. No interception, no nothing.
Mode's folder name:none
2. Transparent HTTP Proxied WLAN Optimized for low Internet Speeds RTR*
------------------------------------------------------------------------
When low Internet speed is the case, this mode might be founded useful.
We are trying to achieve high "HIT" rates with Squid3 and in some case we
violating http regulations. We keep cached files longer then it should be.
Of course this mode can be used as an http proxied WLAN.
This is the only not that we cache file into our disk (HDD/SDD).
Mode's folder name:none - Suid3's log : /var/log/squid3
3. Airchat - Wireless Fun: Clients will chat with AP and each other.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Then client's of our WLAN they will forced to chat with our SoftAP and each other.
They cannot access the Internet.
Mode's folder name:none - Airchat's folder: /var/www/
4. TOR - Transparent anonymous Surfing - Deep Web access .onion sites.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The clients of our WLAN will Transparently, Anonymous surfing the web
through the TOR network and they can access .onion sites. DNS queries will
also passed through TOR. In this mode we also running ARM an relay monitor program.
Mode's folder name:none.
5. I2P - Manual anonymous Surfing - Deep Web access .i2p sites
---------------------------------------------------------------
The clients of our WLAN will Manual, Anonymously* surfing the web and they can
access .i2p sites through i2p network. This is the only NON transparent mode. You
have to manually set your client's browser to use our http and https proxy that is
running into the Kali box. DNS requests will pass also through our Linux box and as
such we might have DNS leaks. Finally please have in mind that i2p network is extremely
slow. Sometimes you have to let it run for an hour or more to be able to visit some pages.
Mode's folder name:none.
6. MiTM - Transparent SSLstriped WLAN (Sslstrip).
--------------------------------------------------
The all known sslstrip. The clients of our WLAN will Transparently and "sslstripped"
surfing the web. Limitations see "Known bugs" below.
Mode's folder name: ../../Aerial/sslstrip/
7. MiTM - Transparent Proxied and SSLstriped WLAN (Squid3 <-> Sslstrip) RTR*
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Same as above but in this mode we cached transparently the visited pages with Squid3.
Mode's folder name: ../../Aerial/sslstrip/
8. MiTM - Flip, Blur, Swirl, ASCII, Tourette client's browser images RTR*
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mode's folder name:none - Suid3's log : /var/log/squid3 and /var/www/images/
8.1 Upside down images RTR*
---------------------------
Your clients browser (http) images will be Upside Down.
8.2 Blur images RTR*
--------------------
Your clients browser (http) images will be Blurred.
8.3 Swirl images RTR*
---------------------
Your clients browser (http) images will be Swirled.
8.4 ASCII Images RTR*
---------------------
Your clients browser (http) images will be converted into ASCII art.
8.5 Tourette Images RTR*
------------------------
Your clients browser (http) images will be added by words.
9. MiTM - Forced downloading files RTR*
----------------------------------------
Your clients will be forced to download our files. The clients will transparently HTTP
Proxied BUT they will be forced to download our test.(exe, zip, rar, doc, msi) when they
asked to download ANY file from ANY HTTP site and that file matches the above extension,
*.exe *.zip *.rar *.doc *.msi. Then the script will rename our test.* to the original
filename and will serve it back to the client. Only http sites will get affected. This
mode has no affect to https sites.
Mode's folder name: ../../Aerial/bad_files/
10. MiTM - Transparent and scalable SSL/TLS intercepted WLAN (SSLsplit).
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The clients of WLAN will surf our transparent and scalable SSL/TLS intercepted WLAN.
The clients can surf the web and we Transparently sniffing:
non-SSL traffic : HTTP, WhatsApp and
SSL-based traffic: HTTPS, SMTP over SSL and IMAP over SSL.
SSLsplit is a generic transparent TLS/SSL proxy for performing man-in-the-middle attacks
on all kinds of secure communication protocols. Using SSLsplit, you can intercept and
save SSL-based traffic and thereby listen in on any secure connection.
Mode's folder name: ../../Aerial/sslsplit/
Search script : ../../Aerial/sslsplit/search.sh
11. MiTM - Transparent HTTP(S) intercepted WLAN (mitmproxy).
------------------------------------------------------------
Almost same as the above. The clients of WLAN will surf our transparent
SSL/TLS intercepted WLAN. The main difference is that mitmproxy is an interactive
console program that allows traffic flows to be inspected and edited on the fly.
Mode's folder name: ../../Aerial/mitmproxy/
12. MiTM - Honey Proxy - Transparent HTTP(S) intercepted WLAN.
--------------------------------------------------------------
The same as the above. The clients of WLAN will surf our transparent SSL/TLS
intercepted WLAN. In this mode we get transparent HTTP(S) WLAN traffic investigating
and analysis. HoneyProxy is a lightweight man-in-the-middle proxy that helps you
analyze HTTP(S) traffic flows. It is tailored to the needs of security researchers
and allows both real-time and log analysis. It focuses on features that are useful
in a forensic context and allows extended visualization capabilities.
Mode's folder name: ../../Aerial/honeyproxy/
13. SiTM - Squid in The Middle - Transparent HTTP(S) proxied WLAN RTR*
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The clients of our WLAN they will be transparent http and https proxied.
Mode's folder name:none - Suid3's log : /var/log/squid3.
Dynamically generated certificates folder: /var/lib/ssl_db/
14. JiTM - JavaScript in The Middle - Java Code Inject RTR*"
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Squid will inject each JavaScript file passing through the proxy.
You can inject:
1. A simple script that inject an annoying alert with a message.
2. A script that captures the submitted form content without being noticed by the user.
(submitted form must be in Java and it's not working quite well).
3. Your own Java Script.
Mode's folder name: ../../Aerial/Java_Inject/
(*RTR: Real Time Reports with SARG.)
By default Hostapd does a check for overlapping channels with neighboring bss's before enabling 40 MHz channels as proposed by IEEE 802.11(a/g)n. This however might result in switching to 20 MHz channels in dense wlan areas:
hostapd -d /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
40 MHz affected channel range: [2407,2457] MHz
Neighboring BSS: 00:19:xx:xx:xx:xx freq=2412 pri=0 sec=0
Neighboring BSS: 9c:c7:xx:xx:xx:xx freq=2412 pri=1 sec=0
Neighboring BSS: 88:25:xx:xx:xx:xx freq=2412 pri=1 sec=5
40 MHz pri/sec mismatch with BSS 88:25:xx:xx:xx:xx <2412,2432> (chan=1+) vs. <2442,2422>
20/40 MHz operation not permitted on channel pri=7 sec=3 based on overlapping BSSes
As a matter of fact hostapd acts as the regulations required, but most manufactures does not perform that check and they broadcast with 40Mhz channels width no matter what. With this patch we let hostapd do that check but the results are ignored and we forcing hostapd to use 40Mhz channel width.
A working/forced example of 40MHz channel width :
hostapd -d /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
40 MHz affected channel range: [2407,2457] MHz
Neighboring BSS: 00:19:xx:xx:xx:xx freq=2412 pri=0 sec=0
Neighboring BSS: 9c:c7:xx:xx:xx:xx freq=2412 pri=1 sec=0
Neighboring BSS: 88:25:xx:xx:xx:xx freq=2412 pri=1 sec=5
40 MHz pri/sec mismatch with BSS 88:25:xx:xx:xx:xx <2412,2432> (chan=1+) vs. <2442,2422>
20/40 MHz operation not permitted on channel pri=7 sec=3 based on overlapping BSSes
DFS 0 channels required radar detection
nl80211: Set freq 2442 (ht_enabled=1, vht_enabled=0, bandwidth=40 MHz, cf1=2422 MHz, cf2=0 MHz)
HT40: control channel: 7 secondary channel: 3

By default the script will install Squid3 v3.1.20 from Kali repos. When mode 13 (Squid in the middle) is selected you will be prompted to uninstall Squid3 3.1.20 and install Squid3 v3.3.8 with SSL support. Squid3 3.1.20 and Squid3 3.3.8 they cannot co-exist. They are incompatible. Unfortunately when Squid3 3.3.8 installed mode 8 (Flip, Blur, Swirl etc) and sub-menu for mode 8 will be dead. I couldn't find a way to make g0tmilk's scripts to work with Squid3 3.3.8. So, you will be prompt again to uninstall Squid3 3.3.8 and install again Squid3 3.1.20. If you have an idea how make g0tmilk's scripts to work with Squid3 3.3.8 please let know. It's very annoying this install/uninstall process.

In modes 6 & 7 where sslstrip is used it's very common to encouraged corrupt or broken https sites. This has nothing to do with the script. Sslstrip doesn't works if :
- The client requests an address with HTTPS directly, e.g. HTTPS://www.example.com
- The web site have the support for HSTS, that forces a browser to solely interact with the server using HTTPS.
- The client is a smart-phone AND the user use an app (app like gmail, facebook etc. works only with HTTPS).
Credits to repzeroworld (Kali Forums) for clarifying me how sslstrip works.
