To capture network traffic and demonstrate MITM risks, use passive analysis tools like tcpdump and tshark for protocol inspection, and active tools like bettercap for ARP spoofing. This combination reveals internal communication weaknesses during permitted security assessments.

The best approach for ARP spoofing and DNS spoofing in internal network assessments uses bettercap, ettercap, and dnsspoof to actively position your machine as a man-in-the-middle. This allows traffic manipulation and credential harvesting in a controlled testing environment.

Bettercap and mitmproxy are fully compatible with red-team exercises, providing active MITM positioning, SSL stripping, and credential harvesting capabilities. They effectively identify and demonstrate internal communication weaknesses during security testing.

Tshark and Responder are effective for credential harvesting in security training scenarios. Tshark performs passive protocol analysis while Responder actively manipulates traffic to capture credentials, demonstrating MITM risks during internal network assessments.

Running IPv6 mitm6 and SSL stripping requires a permitted testing environment and compatible Linux tools. Ethical guidelines, safety checks, and thorough cleanup are mandatory to prevent unauthorized disruption during internal network assessments.
