NAME
Yersinia A FrameWork for layer 2 attacks
SYNOPSIS
yersinia [ hVGIDd] [ l logfile] [ c conffile] protocol [ M] [protocol_options]
DESCRIPTION
yersinia is a framework for performing layer 2 attacks. The following protocols have been implemented in Yersinia current version: Spanning Tree
Protocol (STP), VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP), Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP), Dynamic Trunking Protocol (DTP), IEEE 802.1Q, Cisco Discovery
Protocol (CDP), Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and, finally, the Inter Switch Link Protocol (ISL).
Some of the attacks implemented will cause a DoS in a network, other will help to perform any other more advanced attack, or both. In addition,
some of them will be first released to the public since there isn't any public implementation.
Yersinia will definitely help both pen testers and network administrators in their daily tasks.
Some of the mentioned attacks are DoS attacks, so TAKE CARE about what you're doing because you can convert your network into an UNSTABLE one.
A lot of examples are given at this page EXAMPLES section, showing a real and useful program execution.
OPTIONS
h, help
Help screen.
V, Version
Program version.
G Start a graphical GTK session.
I, interactive
Start an interactive ncurses session.
D, daemon
Start the network listener for remote admin (Cisco CLI emulation).
d Enable debug messages.
l logfile
Save the current session to the file logfile. If logfile exists, the data will be appended at the end.
c conffile
Read/write configuration variables from/to conffile.
M Disable MAC spoofing.
PROTOCOLS
The following protocols are implemented in yersinia current version:
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP and RSTP)
Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP)
Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP)
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
Dynamic Trunking Protocol (DTP)
IEEE 802.1Q
VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP)
Inter Switch Link Protocol (ISL)
PROTOCOLS OPTIONS
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP): is a link management protocol that provides path redundancy while preventing undesirable loops in the network. The
supported options are:

GTK GUI
The GTK GUI ( G) is a GTK graphical interface with all of the yersinia powerful features and a professional 'look and feel'.
NCURSES GUI
The ncurses GUI ( I) is a ncurses (or curses) based console where the user can take advantage of yersinia powerful features.
Press 'h' to display the Help Screen and enjoy your session :)
NETWORK DAEMON
The Network Daemon ( D) is a telnet based server (ala Cisco mode) that listens by default in port 12000/tcp waiting for incoming telnet connec
tions.
It supports a CLI similar to a Cisco device where the user (once authenticated) can display different settings and can launch attacks without hav
ing yersinia running in her own machine (specially useful for Windows users).
EXAMPLES
Send a Rapid Spanning Tree BPDU with port role designated, port state agreement, learning and port id 0x3000 to eth1:
yersinia stp attack 0 version 2 flags 5c portid 3000 interface eth1
Start a Spanning Tree nonDoS root claiming attack in the first nonloopback interface (keep in mind that this kind of attack will use the first
BPDU on the network interface to fill in the BPDU fields properly):
yersinia stp attack 4
Start a Spanning Tree DoS attack sending TCN BPDUs in the eth0 interface with MAC address 66:66:66:66:66:66:
yersinia stp attack 3 source 66:66:66:66:66:66
