Create Fake Access Point's in Kali Linux

In kali linux you can create a fake AP or AP's very easily which is seen by the clients trying to connect to wifi. To do this kind of process you need a wifi adapter which is capable of running in monitor mode , mdk3 and airmon-ng tool. the basic idea is to transmit beacon frames. if you don't have the above tools download it using the below commands.

###### Download Packages ######
user@kali~$ sudo apt-get install mdk3
user@kali~$ sudo apt-get install aircrack-ng

About Beacon Frames

In computer networks, beacon frames management frames used in IEEE 802.11 based wireless local area networks (WLANs). A beacon frame contains network information needed by a station before it can transmit a frame. They are used for announcing the presence of devices in a WLAN as well as synchronisation of the devices and services.The APs transmit beacon frames periodically so that the devices know the status of the network channel.

Step 1

select your network card, yor wireless card is named as wlan*

###### check your interface ######
user@kali~$ sudo airmon-ng

i am having two wireless adapter present here in the output

#Output
PHY     Interface       Driver          Chipset
phy0    wlan0           8188eu          Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188EUS 802.11n Wireless Network Adapter
phy1    wlan1           8188eu          TP-Link TL-WN722N v2/v3 [Realtek RTL8188EUS]

Step 2

i am selecting wlan1 interface

###### turn your interface in monitoring mode ######
user@kali~$ sudo airmon-ng start wlan1

your interface name may change to wlan*mon

Step 3

create a file of names you wnat to show up as wifi networks, and save it

#fake.txt
Dare to Connect
Mart
Medical

Step 4

finally use the mdk3 command to show up the result

######  use fake.txt and mdk3 ######
user@kali~$ sudo mdk3 wlan1 b -c 1 -f fake.txt
#                      ^      ^        ^
#                interface  channel  file

now you can check the result ...
