This command is using the Pyrit tool to create an ESSID (Extended Service Set Identifier) file from a specified ESSID value. Here's a breakdown of the command and its components:

  • pyrit: This is the command to execute the Pyrit tool, which is a popular WiFi hacking tool primarily used for attacking wireless networks using WPA/WPA2-PSK security.
  • -e "${ESSID}": This option specifies the ESSID value to be used in creating the ESSID file. The ${ESSID} is likely a variable that holds the desired ESSID value, and it is being substituted within the command.
  • create_essid: This is the Pyrit command to create an ESSID file. This file contains information about the ESSID value, including its associated hash.

Overall, the command's purpose is to use the Pyrit tool to generate an ESSID file specifically for the provided ESSID value.
