About Bettercap
Bettercap is the Swiss Army knife for WiFi, Bluetooth Low Energy, wireless HID hijacking, and Ethernet networks reconnaissance and MITM attacks. It provides a modular, portable, and easily extensible architecture with interactive and scriptable sessions. Bettercap supports network sniffing, ARP spoofing, DNS spoofing, WiFi deauthentication, Bluetooth device scanning, HID attacks, and much more through its JavaScript-based scripting engine.
About Yersinia
Yersinia is a network security framework written in C that specializes in attacking layer-2 network protocols, targeting the foundational switching and routing mechanisms that most security tools overlook. It supports attacks against Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP), Dynamic Trunking Protocol (DTP), DHCP, 802.1Q VLAN tagging, Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP), and other layer-2 protocols. Network penetration testers and red team operators use Yersinia to demonstrate the devastating impact of layer-2 attacks, which can result in network-wide denial of service, traffic interception, VLAN hopping, and man-in-the-middle positioning. The tool provides both a command-line and ncurses-based interactive interface, making it the definitive framework for assessing an organization's resilience against infrastructure-level network attacks.
