Kali Linux’s mitmproxy makes it easier to perform MitM attacks on web traffic. All traffic that flows over that connection passes through the attacker, potentially enabling them to eavesdrop on the traffic and modify the data flowing over the network. In a man-in-the-middle (MitM) attack, the attacker interjects themselves into communication between a client and a server. This can help with understanding the network layout, capturing leaked credentials and other activities. Wireshark is a valuable tool for sniffing because it provides deep visibility into network traffic, either from a capture file or a live capture. On top of this, Wireshark also offers several different features for traffic analysis, including statistical analysis and the ability to follow network sessions or decrypt SSL/TLS traffic. This makes it possible for users with even limited network knowledge to understand what they are looking at. These enable the tool to analyze many common and uncommon protocols, break out the various fields in each packet and present them within an accessible graphical user interface (GUI). One of the major differentiators of Wireshark is its large library of protocol dissectors.

Wireshark is a network traffic analysis tool with an extremely wide feature set. Wireshark is one of the most well-known and commonly-used tools for sniffing and spoofing.

These are some of the best sniffing and spoofing tools built into Kali.
