Metasploit's fake beacon flood attack

In this example, we will carry out an attack similar to what was demonstrated with MDK3 with Metasploit and its fakeap module. This attack will require a little prework as you will need to add packet injection capabilities to the Metasploit framework. You can add this functionality using lorcon2, a set of libraries and interfaces specifically for packet injection onto wireless networks.

Configuring packet injection support for Metasploit using lorcon

Before you begin to use Metasploit to inject packets onto the target network, you will need to install the lorcon package and libraries to enable packet injection via Python and Ruby. This provides a consistent way for the Metasploit package to send the crafted packages using the 802.11 interface on your Kali workstation. This package will be required for all of the attacks here that use Metasploit's Wi-Fi modules, so if you don't have it installed already, it's recommended that you follow the procedure given...
