dhcpwn: Sniff local DHCP traffic.

dhcpwn

$ dhcpwn --interface ${network_interface} sniff

try on your machine

The "dhcpwn" command is used to execute a DHCP attack against a network. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a network protocol used to automatically assign IP addresses and other network configuration parameters to devices on a network.

In this specific command, "--interface" is used to specify the network interface to be used for the attack. The "${network_interface}" placeholder represents the name of the specific network interface you want to use for the attack. For example, it could be something like "eth0" or "wlan0".

The "sniff" parameter is used in combination with "--interface" to indicate that the command should sniff or capture network traffic on the specified interface.

Overall, this command instructs the "dhcpwn" tool to launch a DHCP attack and capture network traffic on the specified network interface.
