Abstract

In this workshop, we will explore the fun new world of Wi-Fi Malware!

We will look at how one can abuse perfectly legitimate and useful features like Hosted Network and Ad-Hoc modes to create pure Wi-Fi Backdoors, Worms and even short range Botnets! We will learn how to program/script these malware using various APIs and command line utilities available natively on Windows. We will see how effective these malware can be in beating conventional forms of host and network based intrusion detection. We will also discuss how you can use your newfound knowledge for fun and profit :)

This session will also see the release of new tools and scripts which you can play with later.

Hardware/Software Requirements:

Attendees must get their own laptop with Windows 7 and a working internal Wi-Fi card or external Adapter. Optionally, to have more fun, you could also have Backtrack installed in the Windows 7 laptop using Virtualbox along with a USB based Wi-Fi card which supports packet sniffing / injection (like the Alfa Network AWUS036H card), though this is not mandatory.
