Mallory and Me: Setting up a Mobile Mallory Gateway

This guide explains how to install, configure, and run Mallory — a Python-based man-in-the-middle gateway — on an Ubuntu netbook (example uses an EeePC and tethered Android). It covers dependency installation, hostapd configuration for infrastructure-mode WiFi, netfilter/conntrack packages, gateway NAT and DHCP setup, iptables rules to redirect traffic to Mallory's listening port, and how to start and test Mallory (including image-manipulation and cookie-hijacking plugins). The document is a practical setup/tutorial for testing and development rather than a report of an actual compromise or incident.
