aireplay-ng:tldr:94a98
This command utilizes the aireplay-ng
tool, which is a part of the Aircrack-ng suite, to perform a deauthentication attack on a specific client connected to a Wi-Fi access point.
Let's break down the components of this command:
-
sudo
: This is a command used in Unix-like operating systems to execute a command with administrative (root) privileges. It is often necessary for running certain commands that require elevated permissions. -
aireplay-ng
: This is the main command used to launch different attacks related to Wi-Fi network and traffic. -
--deauth ${count}
: This option specifies the number of deauthentication frames that should be sent to the client.${count}
is a placeholder that represents the desired number of deauthentication frames to be sent. You can replace${count}
with an actual number. -
--bssid ${ap_mac}
: This option specifies the MAC address of the target access point (AP).${ap_mac}
is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual MAC address of the AP. -
--dmac ${client_mac}
: This option specifies the MAC address of the client device to deauthenticate.${client_mac}
is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual MAC address of the client device. -
${interface}
: This is the network interface (e.g.,wlan0
,eth0
) on which the attack will be carried out. It is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual name of the network interface.
By executing this command with appropriate values for the placeholders, aireplay-ng
will send deauthentication frames to the specified client, effectively disconnecting it from the targeted access point.
