  What is PenetrationTesting? “The process of evaluating systems , applications , and protocols with the intent of identifying vulnerabilities usually from the perspective of an unprivileged or anonymous user to determine potential real world impacts…” Or in other words … trying to break into stuff before the bad guys do…

  Features of KALILINUX • Has more than 600 penetration testing tools. • Multilingual Support • Completely Customizable. • Free and Always will be. • Vast Wireless device support and Compatible with USB. • ARM support-Kali Linux has ARM repositories integrated with mainline distribution.
• 5.
  Flexibility of KALILINUX • Kali Linux can run natively when installed on a computer’s hard disk or, • Can be booted from a live CD or a live USB or, • It can run within a virtual machine. • Available for ARM devices like Samsung Chromebook, Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, Raspberry Pi and a lot more. • KALI LINUX can also be installed within a root environment on an android device.

  DIFFERENT SOFTWARES FOR PENTESTING KaliLinux is preinstalled with over 600 penetration-testing programs. For eg- nmap (a port scanner),  Wireshark (a packet analyzer),  John the Ripper (a password cracker),  Aircrack-ng (a software suite for penetration-testing wireless LANs) Kali Linux can run natively when installed on a computer's hard disk, can be booted from a live CD or live USB, or it can run within a virtual machine.

  USE OF KALILINUX FOR HACKFLY WIRELESS HACKING WITH KALI LINUX Aircrack-ng Aircrack-ng is the de facto penetration tool suite – essential for any wireless penetration tests or assessments. COMMANDS USED: Airmon-ng-:the tool used to put wireless cards into monitor mode Airodump-ng :is used for packet capturing of raw 802.11 frames Aireplay-ng: is used to inject frames. Airtun-ng :is a virtual tunnel interface creator Airbase-ng: is multi-purpose tool aimed at attacking clients as opposed to the Access Point (AP) itself. Aircrack-ng:recover keys once enough data packets have been captured

  What is theneed and purpose of packet injection within WiFi attacks Wireless networks work in predefined modes and come with strict functional restrictions. Wireless attacks require a higher control over the lower layers of communication in order to send and receive any kind of data.  In the default mode (Station Infrastructure Mode),, you can't even directly talk to a different client in default mode. For more control, you need Monitor mode to listen to any communication in the air. This is where packet injection comes in. Packet injection means sending data while in Monitor mode because it's a passive-only mode .
• 10.
  Sending and receivingmanagement and control frames is necessary for impersonating base stations and clients, and for listening to frames that are meant for specific adapters.  The dreadful deauthentication frame, apart from the DoS(denial of service attack) can also be injected, it's the first stage in a multi-stage attack.
