Following this tutorial https://www.security-sleuth.com/sleuth-blog/2017/3/6/installing-poison-tap-for-dummies-the-most-complete-guide I am trying to install Poison Tap as part of a school project. However I got stuck at the Configuring your poison tap section of the tutorial.

The DHCP server refuses to start. Running the sudo service isc-dhcp-server start command I get the following error message:

Job for isc-dhcp-server.service failed. See 'systemctl status isc-dhcp-server.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.

Then I check the error message privided by systemctl status isc-dhcp-server.service

    pi@raspberrypi:~ $ systemctl status isc-dhcp-server.service
    ● isc-dhcp-server.service - LSB: DHCP server
       Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/isc-dhcp-server)
       Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Sun 2017-04-30 09:29:49 UTC; 1min 10s ago
      Process: 9931 ExecStart=/etc/init.d/isc-dhcp-server start (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)

Which isn't telling me much(except the service doesn't want to start). So I check to get even more details with sudo journalctl -xn:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo journalctl -xn

And since I am trash at configuring a network I get lost in all of this.

Running ifconfig I get this output:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ ifconfig

          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0

My dhcp file looks like this:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo cat /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf
# /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf

# notes below
ddns-update-style none;
default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;
authoritative;
log-facility local7;

# describe the codes used for injecting static routes
option classless-routes code 121 = array of unsigned integer 8;
option classless-routes-win code 249 = array of unsigned integer 8;

# A netmask of 128 will work across all platforms
# A way to cover /0 is to use a short lease.
# As soon as the lease expires and client sends a
# new DHCPREQUEST, you can DHCPOFFER the other half.
subnet 0.0.0.0 netmask 128.0.0.0 {
        range 1.0.0.10 1.0.0.50;
        option broadcast-address 255.255.255.255;
        option routers 1.0.0.1;
        default-lease-time 600;
        max-lease-time 7200;
        option domain-name "local";
        option domain-name-servers 1.0.0.1;
# send the routes for both the top and bottom of the IPv4 address space
        option classless-routes 1,0, 1,0,0,1,  1,128, 1,0,0,1;
        option classless-routes-win 1,0, 1,0,0,1,  1,128, 1,0,0,1;

}

And my interfaces file looks like this:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cat /etc/network/interfaces
auto lo

iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet dhcp

allow-hotplug wlan0
auto wlan0

auto usb0
    allow-hotplug usb0
    iface usb0 inet static
    address 1.0.0.1
    netmask 0.0.0.0

What am I missing?
