airmon-ng:tldr:49417

This command is used to start monitor mode on a wireless network interface using the "airmon-ng" tool with administrative privileges (hence "sudo" which stands for "superuser do").

Let's break down the components of the command:

• "sudo": It allows the user to execute a command with administrative or superuser privileges. This is required for certain operations that manipulate network interfaces.
• "airmon-ng": It is a command-line tool used in Linux environments, specifically for managing wireless interfaces.
• "start": This parameter instructs the "airmon-ng" tool to start monitor mode on the specified wireless interface.
• "${wlan0}": This is a placeholder or variable representing the wireless network interface. In this case, the interface being referred to is "wlan0." However, keep in mind that the actual interface name may vary depending on the system and the number of network interfaces present.

Overall, the command "sudo airmon-ng start ${wlan0}" initiates the monitor mode on the specified wireless interface, allowing the user to capture and analyze network traffic.
