2. Apply a Wireshark filter for DNS and, as we can see, the victim is making DNS requests for https://www.google.com:

   

3. In order to hijack the browser session, we will need to send fake DNS responses that will resolve the IP address of https://www.google.com to the hacker machine's IP address 192.168.0.199. The tool that we will use for this is called dnsspoof and the syntax is as follows:

   dnspoof –i mitm-bridge
   

   The output of the command is as follows:

   

4. Refresh the browser windows and now, as we can see through Wireshark, as soon as the victim makes a DNS request for any host (including google.com), Dnsspoof replies back:

   

5. On the victim's machine, we see an error that says Unable to connect. This is because we made the IP address...
