During a wireless penetration test, you want to launch an evil-twin attack by creating a software-based AP that clones the target SSID, bridges client traffic to the legitimate network, and captures WPA handshakes for later cracking. Which Aircrack-ng utility is purpose-built for this task?
airodump-ng
aireplay-ng
airbase-ng
airdecap-ng
Airbase-ng is the Aircrack-ng suite component designed to create virtual access points for offensive testing. It can broadcast any chosen SSID, forward frames to a wired or wireless upstream interface so clients keep normal connectivity, and simultaneously log authentication material such as WPA/WPA2 four-way handshakes. Airodump-ng is a passive sniffer only; it cannot host an AP. Aireplay-ng injects frames for attacks like de-authentication but likewise cannot operate as an access point. Airdecap-ng is used to decrypt captured traffic once you already have the key, not to create rogue APs.
