Time for action – orchestrating a Mis-Association attack

Follow these instructions to get started:

1. In the previous labs, we used a client that had connected to the Wireless Lab access point. Let us switch on the client but not the actual Wireless Lab access point. Let us now run airodump-ng mon0 and check the output. You will very soon find the client to be in not associated mode and probing for Wireless Lab and other SSIDs in its stored profile (Vivek as shown):

   

2. To understand what is happening, let's run Wireshark and start sniffing on the mon0 interface. As expected you might see a lot of packets, which are not relevant to our analysis. Apply a Wireshark filter to only display Probe Request packets from the client MAC you are using:

   

3. In my case, the filter would be wlan.fc.type_subtype == 0x04 && wlan.sa == 60:FB:42:D5:E4:01. You should now see Probe Request packets only from the client for the SSIDs Vivek and Wireless Lab:

   

4. Let us now start a fake access point for the network Wireless...
