The MANA Wireless Toolkit

Even if you are starting out in penetration testing, you've probably heard about a wireless security auditing framework called Aircrack-ng. The features of MANA Wireless Toolkit on Kali NetHunter are similar to those of Aircrack-ng. MANA can create an evil-twin access point and perform an MITM attack.

An evil twin is an unauthorized AP implanted in an organization by a hacker. The goal is to trick unaware employees into establishing a connection and transferring sensitive information across the network. Using an evil twin, a hacker will be able to intercept and reroute users' traffic easily.

This tool allows a penetration tester to configure the following when creating an evil twin:

  • Basic Service Set Identifier (BSSID): The BSSID is the media access control (MAC) of the wireless router or the AP.
  • Service Set Identifier (SSID): The SSID is the name of the wireless network as seen by laptops, smartphones, tablets, and so on.
  • Channel: The channel is also known as a wireless band on the spectrum.
