During a penetration test, you need to accelerate the capture of a WPA2-PSK four-way handshake by forcing clients connected to the target access point to reconnect. Which aircrack-ng component is specifically designed to inject deauthentication frames for this purpose?
aireplay-ng
airtun-ng
airodump-ng
airdecap-ng
The aircrack-ng suite separates functionality into individual utilities. Aireplay-ng is the packet injection tool; one of its most common uses is sending deauthentication frames to push stations off an AP so they immediately reconnect, generating a fresh four-way handshake for capture. Airodump-ng only sniffs traffic and cannot transmit frames, airdecap-ng is for decrypting captured packets offline, and airtun-ng creates virtual tunnel interfaces. Therefore, aireplay-ng is the correct choice when you must actively force a reauthentication to obtain a handshake.
