The Middler is a next-generation man-in-the-middle tool that takes the focus beyond the raw mechanics of the protocol on to the application itself. New for Def Con, it now can man in the middle Voice over IP (VoIP), producing the opportunity to interactively redirect calls, join them, or take them over. All of these effects join The Middler's goal of putting the victim into a kind of matrix by implementing man in the middle attacks specific to each web application. We've also added a graphical interface, allowing for interactive target selection based on information that The Middler gathers about potential victims. We've added more applications and enhanced the set of non-application specific capabilities, including easy session cloning, IFRAME injection and a Java script exploit library that can force the user into the Browser Exploitation Framework (BeEF) or a Metasploit exploit. This demo-filled talk will enhance your man in the middle powers just in time for one of the most hostile networks ever seen.
