QuestionQ22

VerifiedWireless Penetration Testing Methodology

Steven is conducting a wireless network audit. As part of the engagement, he is attempting to crack a WPA-PSK key. Steven has captured enough packets to run aircrack-ng and discover the key, but aircrack-ng produced no result because the capture contained no authentication packets.

Which of the following commands should Steven use to generate authentication packets?

Explanation

Deauthentication frames disconnect associated wireless clients, causing them to reauthenticate with the access point and produce the WPA/WPA2 handshake required for WPA-PSK cracking. Aircrack-ng documentation identifies deauthentication as a method for capturing WPA handshakes by forcing clients to reauthenticate.
