During a wireless penetration test you must force all stations off a WPA2-PSK access point so you can capture a fresh four-way handshake for later offline cracking. Using the aircrack-ng suite that is already installed, which utility should you run to inject forged deauthentication frames against the target BSSID?
The aircrack-ng suite separates tasks into individual utilities. aireplay-ng is responsible for frame injection attacks, including disassociation and deauthentication floods that force clients to reconnect. airodump-ng only captures traffic, aircrack-ng performs key-recovery attacks on captured handshakes, and airolib-ng manages pre-computed hash tables; none of these can transmit deauth frames. Therefore, aireplay-ng is the correct choice when you need to kick clients off a network to harvest a new handshake.
