What is Airmon-ng used for?
Airmon-ng is included in the aircrack-ng package and is used to enable and disable monitor mode on wireless interfaces. It may also be used to go back from monitor mode to managed mode.
Is the source MAC associated?
In order for an access point to accept a packet, the source MAC address must already be associated. If the source MAC address you are injecting is not associated then the AP ignores the packet and sends out a “DeAuthentication” packet in cleartext.
What does Airodump-ng do?
Airodump-ng is used for packet capturing of raw 802.11 frames and is particularly suitable for collecting WEP IVs (Initialization Vector) for the intent of using them with aircrack-ng. If you have a GPS receiver connected to the computer, airodump-ng is capable of logging the coordinates of the found access points.
What is handshake in WiFi?
The 4-way handshake is used to authenticate the WiFi client and encrypt all communications with the access point. The handshake is established by exchanging EAPoL frames between the WPA supplicant running on the client and the authenticator running on the access point.
What language is used to write MAC addresses?
MAC addresses are written in the hexadecimal format.
What is ARP reply?
The ARP reply is a unicast response, containing the desired information, sent to the requestor’s link layer address. An even rarer usage of ARP is gratuitous ARP, where a machine announces its ownership of an IP address on a media segment. The arping utility can generate these gratuitous ARP frames.
What is the function of Aireplay-ng in Aircrack?
Aireplay-ng is used to inject frames. The primary function is to generate traffic for the later use in aircrack-ng for cracking the WEP and WPA-PSK keys.
Where does the Aireplay-ng attack get its packets from?
The attack can obtain packets to replay from two sources. The first being a live flow of packets from your wireless card. The second being from a pcap file. Reading from a file is an often overlooked feature of aireplay-ng. This allows you read packets from other capture sessions or quite often, various attacks generate pcap files for easy reuse.
Can you read a file using Aireplay-ng?
Reading from a file is an often overlooked feature of aireplay-ng. This allows you read packets from other capture sessions or quite often, various attacks generate pcap files for easy reuse. A common use of reading a file containing a packet your created with packetforge-ng.
How does fake authentication work in Aireplay-ng?
The fake authentication attack allows you to perform the two types of WEP authentication (Open System and Shared Key) plus associate with the access point (AP). This is useful is only useful when you need an associated MAC address in various aireplay-ng attacks and there is currently no associated client.
