Why having a "so complex" infrastructure ?
All you need is linux 2.4.X kernel with netfilter and GRE support and the following tools:
- iptables
- iproute2
- any sniffing/hijacking tools ( ettercap, dsniff, hunt, ethereal )
Using this configuration you can do whatever you want:
- create funny policy routing rules
- intercept traffic
- hijack traffic
- decrement TTL and manipulate traffic in many way
- insert NAT rules to eventually bypass firewall
and you don't need to have a cisco router neither to have to cope with GRE
encapsulation :)
Using a cisco router for hacking purpose is crazy, use linux! :)
