Virtual Ethernet Device
 | 
			
		||||
=======================
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Virtual Ethernet device pairs are a pair of fake Ethernet devices that act
 | 
			
		||||
as a pipe, Traffic sent via one interface comes out the other. As these are
 | 
			
		||||
Ethernet devices and not point to point devices you can handle broadcast
 | 
			
		||||
traffic on these interfaces and use protocols other than IP.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
To create a virtual ethernet pipe with one end called veth0 and the other
 | 
			
		||||
called veth1, use the following command:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
	ip link add veth0 type veth peer name veth1
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
The pair of interfaces are identical and act as a dumb pipe, there is no
 | 
			
		||||
master or slave end. Deleting either end will cause both interfaces to be
 | 
			
		||||
deleted. The pair of interfaces implement carrier detection and can tell
 | 
			
		||||
when one side of the link is in the 'DOWN' state. if the other link is in
 | 
			
		||||
the 'DOWN' state it will indicate 'NO-CARRIER' until the other end is
 | 
			
		||||
brought up:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
	ip link set veth0 up
 | 
			
		||||
	ip link set veth1 up
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||

Testing 802.1x on Virtual Ethernet Device
 | 
			
		||||
=========================================
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
It is based on hostapd and wpa_supplicant. To compile them, go in the
 | 
			
		||||
hostapd/wpa_supplicant directory, copy "defconfig" to ".config", for
 | 
			
		||||
hostapd uncomment the line "CONFIG_DRIVER_WIRED=y" and "make".
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Using hostapd (the authenticator) and following hostapd.conf file:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
	interface=veth0
 | 
			
		||||
	driver=wired
 | 
			
		||||
	ieee8021x=1
 | 
			
		||||
	eapol_key_index_workaround=0
 | 
			
		||||
	eap_server=1
 | 
			
		||||
	eap_user_file=hostapd.eap_user # replace with the right path
 | 
			
		||||
	ca_cert=newcertca.crt # replace with your CA certificate path
 | 
			
		||||
	server_cert=newcertca.crt # replace with your server certificate path (here I use the same as for the CA for simplicity)
 | 
			
		||||
	private_key=newkeyca.key # replace with your server private key path
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
A sample hostapd.eap_user that works is the following:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
	# Phase 1 users
 | 
			
		||||
	*	PEAP
 | 
			
		||||
	# Phase 2
 | 
			
		||||
	"test"	MSCHAPV2	"password"	[2]
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
To execute hostapd (add "-dd" for debug mode):
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
	sudo ./hostapd hostapd.conf
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Using wpa_supplicant (the supplicant, i.e., the client) with the following
 | 
			
		||||
wpa_supplicant.conf configuration file:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
	ap_scan=0
 | 
			
		||||
	fast_reauth=1
 | 
			
		||||
	network={
 | 
			
		||||
		ssid=""
 | 
			
		||||
		scan_ssid=0
 | 
			
		||||
		key_mgmt=IEEE8021X
 | 
			
		||||
		eap=PEAP
 | 
			
		||||
		phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
 | 
			
		||||
		identity="test"
 | 
			
		||||
		password="password"
 | 
			
		||||
		ca_cert="newcertca.crt" # replace with your CA certificate path
 | 
			
		||||
	}
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
To run wpa_supplicant (add "-dd -K" for debugging):
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
	sudo ./wpa_supplicant -iveth1 -c./wpa_supplicant.conf -Dwired
