Stealing Passwords Using Wireshark and Ettercap

Using ettercap and Wireshark to capture both network traffic and stealing credentials at the same time is every ethical hacker's best-case scenario.

In addition, I discuss how to use Layer 2 attacks during a professional internal penetration test as part of the reconnaissance phase.
