Wireless attacks
Up to this point, you have seen various sniffing techniques that gather information. In this section, you'll see how wireless attacks take place, which is a very important topic in pentesting.
The deauthentication (deauth) attack
Deauthentication frames fall under the category of the management frames. When a client wishes to disconnect from the AP, the client sends the deauthentication frame. The AP also sends the deauthentication frame in the form of a reply. This is the normal process, but an attacker takes advantage of this process. The attacker spoofs the MAC address of the victim and sends the deauth frame to the AP on behalf of the victim; because of this, the connection to the client is dropped. The aireplay-ng program is the best tool to accomplish a deauth attack. In this section, you will learn how to carry out this attack using Python. But, you can take advantage of the output of the ssid_finder_raw.py code because the ssid_finder_raw.py program writes a file...
