It discusses how these attacks are implemented, their impact, and detection and mitigation techniques.<br /> <br /> == Requirements ==<br /> <br /> * Operating system: Linux-based distributions with support for monitor mode (e.g., Ubuntu 20.04).<br /> * Software tools: MDK4, Aircrack-ng<br /> <br /> In order to complete these steps, you must have followed [[Hak5 Signal Owl]]: before.<br /> <br /> == Description ==<br /> <br /> === Step 1 ===<br /> <br /> Understanding Beacon Frames<br /> <br /> Beacon frames are management packets broadcast by wireless access points (APs) to announce their presence. These frames include:<br /> <br /> SSID (network name).<br /> BSSID (AP MAC address).<br /> Channel and frequency details.<br /> Security protocol indicators (e.g., WPA2, WPA3).<br /> <br /> === Step 2 ===<br /> <br /> * Enable monitor mode on the wireless network adapter:<br /> <br /> airmon-ng start wlan0<br /> <br /> * Execute MDK4 to generate spoofed beacon frames:<br /> <br /> mdk4 wlan0mon b -a -m -s 500<br /> <br /> * Observe the impact on the surrounding wireless environment.<br /> <br /> == Used Hardware ==<br /> <br /> [[Hak5 Signal Owl]]: Device for automated pentesting tasks.<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> <br /> *https://docs.hak5.org/signal-owl/<br /> *https://github.com/hak5/signalowl-payloads<br /> <br /> [[Category:Documentation]]</div>
