# 2. Detect Session Hijacking
## 1. Detect Session Hijacking using Wireshark
### Launch MITM attack
1. Run **bettercap -iface eth0** to set the network interface.
> **-iface**: specifies the interface to bind to (here, **eth0**).
2. Type **net.probe on** and press **Enter**. This module will send different types of probe packets to each IP in the current subnet for the **net.recon** module to detect them.
3. Type **net.recon on** and press **Enter**. This module is responsible for periodically reading the system ARP table to detect new hosts on the network.
> The net.recon module displays the detected active IP addresses in the network. In real-time, this module will start sniffing network packets.
4. Type **net.sniff on** and press **Enter**. This module is responsible for performing sniffing on the network.
5. You can observe that bettercap starts sniffing network traffic on different machines in the network, as shown in the screenshot.
A huge number of Arp requests, indicate attack in progress.
