Deauthentication Attack Guide

What is a Deauthentication Attack?

A deauthentication attack is a type of wireless attack where an attacker sends deauthentication frames to disconnect devices from a wireless network. This can be used to disrupt services or force users to reconnect to a malicious network.

How Deauthentication Attacks Work

• Deauthentication Frames: The attacker sends deauthentication frames to the target device or access point.
• Disconnection: The target device is disconnected from the wireless network.
• Reconnection: The attacker can force the device to reconnect to a malicious network.

Step-by-Step Guide to Deauthentication Attacks

Here’s how you can perform a deauthentication attack (for educational purposes only):

1. Choose a Tool: Select a tool like Aircrack-ng or mdk4.
2. Scan Networks: Use the tool to scan for nearby wireless networks.
3. Identify Targets: Identify the target device or access point.
4. Launch Attack: Use the tool to send deauthentication frames to the target.
5. Monitor Results: Monitor the results of the attack.

How to Protect Yourself

To protect yourself from deauthentication attacks, follow these steps:

• Use WPA3: Use WPA3 encryption to secure your wireless network.
• Monitor Networks: Continuously monitor for unusual network activity.
• Educate Users: Train employees to recognize phishing and suspicious activity.
