  KARMA Wireless Clients Utilities
------------------------------------------------------------------------


SUMMARY



DETAILS

KARMA is a set of tools for assessing the security of wireless clients at 
multiple layers. Wireless sniffing tools discover clients and their 
preferred/trusted networks by passively listening for 802.11 Probe Request 
frames.

Using the information gathered passively, individual clients can be 
targeted by creating a Rogue AP for one of their probed networks (which 
they may join automatically) or using a custom driver that responds to 
probes and association requests for any SSID. Higher-level fake services 
can then capture credentials or exploit client-side vulnerabilities on the 
host.

KARMA includes patches for the Linux MADWifi driver to allow the creation 
of an 802.11 Access Point that responds to any probed SSID. Making a 
client that looks for the SSID 'linksys', see the Linux machine as a 
'linksys' device, while making it appear as 'tmobile' to someone else.

Currently, these releases are BYOX (Bring Your Own Exploits), although a 
number of client-side exploits have been written, tested and demonstrated 
within this framework. Some may be included in a future release. Automated 
agent deployment is also planned.
