Creating an Evil Twin Wireless Access Point to Eavesdrop on Data
Creating an Evil Twin Wireless Access Point to Eavesdrop on Data Now that we're familiar with the technologies, terminology , and the aircrack-ng suite , we can finally start hacking Wi-Fi. Our first task will be to creating an evil twin access point . Many new hackers are anxious to crack Wi-Fi passwords to gain some free bandwidth (don't worry, we'll get to that), but there are so many other Wi-Fi hacks that are far more powerful and put so much more at risk than a bit of bandwidth.
