# 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 ...
