It's useful therefore to understand how these protocols can be hijacked at a network level. One of the tools we can use to do TCP session hijacking is Shijack, shown here at the Packet Storm Security site. I've already downloaded and unzipped this tool so let's get started and look at how we might hijack a telnet session. I'll run this attack from Kali so I've got a terminal open, ready to go. The first thing I need to do is poison the local network. I could do that on a command line using the ARP spoof tool, but I quite like the Ettercap graphical utility.
