# Aircrack-ng

## Monitor Mode 

```
# Stop processes that could cause issues
sudo airmon-ng check kill

# Put wlan0 into monitor mode
sudo airmon-ng start wlan0 

# Check that wlan0 is monitoring 
sudo iwconfig 

# Check Injection is working 
sudo aireplay-ng -9 wlan0
```

### Stop Monitor Mode

```
sudo aircrack-ng stop wlan0
```

## Scan for Access Points 

```
sudo airodump-ng wlan0
```

## Scan for devices on Access Points 

 **airodump-ng -d "target's BSSID" -c "target's channel number" "wireless adapter monitor mode name"**

```
sudo airodump-ng -d 50:C7:BF:DC:4C:E8 -c 11 wlan0
```

## Deauthenticate devices on Access Points 

This will only work if wlan0 is set to the same channel as the target AP. The above scans will tell you the channel.

The below will change wlan0 to channel 11.

```
sudo iwconfig wlan0 channel 11
```
