Bypass URL Redirects with MAC Spoofing
It's not difficult to bypass a URL redirect by spoofing the MAC address of an authorized computer. All you need is a laptop and Wireshark.
Here are the steps:
- Boot to Linux and verify that your eth0 connection is enabled and connected to the network. You can check this my running: ifconfig
- Next run wireshark
- Click on the Start Capture button and then select the configuration button for you eth0 device
- Create a filter that only captures Ethernet ARP packets
- Start the capture
- Wait until another computer connects to the network (this may take some time to get a machine that is authorized)
- When they communicate with the server an ARP packet will be sent with that computers MAC address
- Record the MAC address and stop the capture
- Open a terminal
- Type: macchanger --mac <copy the new MAC address here> eth0
- Check that your MAC address is now the same as the other computer: ifconfig
- Type: /etc/init.d/networking stop
- Type: /etc/init.d/networking start
- Open a browser and verify to that you now bypass the URL redirect and can now browse the internet
