pppwn list interface (exclude Bluetooth device, virtual adapter, Wi-Fi)

[oresterosso75]

I noticed that pppwn list returns a list of all the interfaces present in the device.
non-essential ones such as Bluetooth Device, Virtual Adapter, Wi-Fi should be excluded from the search.
who knows, maybe filtering with regex?

I use the api provided by the system to obtain network interfaces under macOS. I believe similar functions are also available on Windows. Feel welcome to submit a PR.

PPPwn_cpp/src/main.cpp

Lines 78 to 111 in 5c0b15a

	void listInterfaces() {
	std::cout << "[+] interfaces: " << std::endl;
	#if defined(__APPLE__)
	CFArrayRef interfaces = SCNetworkInterfaceCopyAll();
	if (!interfaces) {
	std::cerr << "[-] Failed to get interfaces" << std::endl;
	exit(1);
	}
	CFIndex serviceCount = CFArrayGetCount(interfaces);
	char buffer[1024];
	for (CFIndex i = 0; i < serviceCount; ++i) {
	auto interface = (SCNetworkInterfaceRef) CFArrayGetValueAtIndex(interfaces, i);

	CFStringGetCString(bsdName, buffer, sizeof(buffer), kCFStringEncodingUTF8);

Wifi should be not removed for people that use it to jailbreak the console with it.

Im not sure about bluetooth, but i guess that ESP32 or similar microcontroller can act as Bluetooth PAN to Wifi bridge, so maybe even bluetooth connection would be possible. I bet that no one would do it over bluetooth, but its still an option.
Maybe also some virtual adapters can be used for PPPwn, like tunnel interfaces that on other end are bridged to router/firewall port which is connected to PS4. But dont take my word on it, i did never tested such a scenario.

Yes possible to do it like that. esp32 is not likely to work(much to slow for Bluetooth and wifi)..

[Gouster4]

So, its reasonable to leave all those options available, because all of them can be used, just not very attractive as LAN or Wifi. Mmost likely no one would use them, but its still an possible option.

Real hardwar should be listet but the virtual ones and bridges should not be listet. Nobody will ever send the jailbreak to a VM or the bridge between lan and WLAN.adapter.

When you bridge two interfaces, isn't then bridge itself that interface which you use to communicate with those interfaces? At least I do that so on my firewall. I'm not an expert, so maybe I'm doing it wrong.

in my form I use this function:

Class SchedaDiReteItem:
`public class SchedaDiReteItem
{
public NetworkInterface Scheda { get; set; }
public string Descrizione { get; set; }

public override string ToString()
{
    return Descrizione;
}

}`

• Property Scheda: Stores the instance of NetworkInterface` representing the network interface.
• Property `Descrizione: Contains a description of the network interface.
• Method ToString: Overrides the ToString` method to return the description of the network interface when an object of this type is converted to a string.

`private void ethernetScan()
{
NetworkInterface[] networkInterfaces = NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces();

string pattern = @"(\bwi-fi\b|\bwifi\b|\bwireless\b|\bbluetooth\b)";

foreach (NetworkInterface networkInterface in networkInterfaces)
{
    string interfaceName = networkInterface.Description.ToLower();

    // Exclude virtual network interfaces such as loopback
    if (!Regex.IsMatch(interfaceName, pattern) && !networkInterface.Description.ToLower().Contains("loopback"))
    {
        comboBox2.Items.Add(new NetworkInterfaceItem { NetworkInterface = networkInterface, Description = networkInterface.Description });
    }
}

}

`

Retrieval of Network Interfaces

NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces() retrieves all the network interfaces available on the system.

Exclusion Pattern

The pattern @"(\bwi-fi\b|\bwifi\b|\bwireless\b|\bbluetooth\b)" is used to exclude network interfaces based on Wi-Fi, wireless, and Bluetooth.

foreach Loop

Iterates over each network interface.

Interface Name

scheda.Description.ToLower() converts the interface description to lowercase to facilitate comparison.

Exclusion Condition

Network interfaces that contain the terms from the pattern or "loopback" in their description are excluded.

Adding to ComboBox

Network interfaces that are not excluded are added to comboBox2 as SchedaDiReteItem objects.

No technically it is a network on its one. If you use it as a interface you send the jealbreak to both sides wlan and lan. In best case you just DDoS your Home Network.

Hm... so its better to send it directly to specific interface. Got it.
