Modifying an MSN Conversation using an Ettercap Filter

In this video, Thomas shows us how to modify an MSN conversation at the network level. He uses an Ettercap filter and MITM attack to make this happen. The basic idea is to hijack the victim's Layer 2 and have all his traffic go through the attacker. Then the attacker can modify the traffc on the fly and inject it back into the network.

Thanks to Thomas for referring this video to us. You can visit his blog here for more information.
