NAME

       mdk3 - wireless attack tool for IEEE 802.11 networks

SYNOPSIS

       mdk3 <interface> <test_mode> [test_options]

DESCRIPTION

       MDK is a proof-of-concept tool to exploit common IEEE 802.11 protocol weaknesses.

OPTIONS

       --fullhelp

              Show all test options.

       --help <test_mode>

              Show test options about <test_mode>.

   TEST MODES
       b   - Beacon Flood Mode

              Sends beacon frames to show fake APs at clients.

              This can sometimes crash network scanners and even drivers!

       a   - Authentication DoS mode

              Sends authentication frames to all APs found in range.

              Too much clients can freeze or reset some APs.

       p   - Basic probing and ESSID Bruteforce mode

              Probes  AP  and  check  for  answer, useful for checking if SSID has been correctly
              decloaked or if AP is within your Wi-Fi interface's sending range.

              SSID Bruteforcing is also possible with this test mode.

       d   - Deauthentication / Disassociation Amok Mode

              Kicks out everybody found from AP.

       m   - Michael shutdown exploitation (TKIP)

              Cancels all traffic continuously.

       x   - 802.1X tests.

       w   - WIDS/WIPS Confusion.

              Confuse/Abuse Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems.

       f   - MAC filter bruteforce mode

              Uses a list of known client MAC Addresses and tries to  authenticate  them  to  the
              given  AP  while dynamically changing its response timeout for best performance. It
              currently works only on APs who deny an open authentication request properly.

       g   - WPA Downgrade test

              Deauthenticates Stations and APs sending WPA encrypted packets.

              All the unencrypted and WEP networks will still work.

   TEST MODES OPTIONS
       b - Beacon Flood Mode

              Sends beacon frames to show fake APs at clients.

              This can sometimes crash network scanners and even drivers!

              -n <ssid>

                     Use SSID <ssid> instead of randomly generated ones.

              -f <filename>

                     Read SSIDs from file.

              -v <filename>

                     Read   MACs    and    SSIDs    from    file.    See    example    file    at
                     /usr/share/doc/mdk3/fakeap-example.txt.

              -d

                     Fake Ad-Hoc stations.

              -w

                     Fake WEP encrypted stations.

              -g

                     Fake 802.11b stations (54 Mbit/s).

              -t

                     Fake WPA TKIP encrypted stations.

              -a

                     Fake WPA AES encrypted stations.

              -m

                     Use valid accesspoint MAC from OUI database.

              -h

                     Hop to channel where AP is spoofed.

                     This  makes  the  test  more  effective  against some devices/drivers but it
                     reduces packet rate due to channel hopping.

              -c <chan>

                     Fake an AP on channel <chan>. If you want your card to hop on this  channel,
                     you have to set -h option, too!

              -s <pps>

                     Set speed in packets per second (default: 50).

       a   - Authentication DoS mode

              Sends authentication frames to all APs found in range.

              Too much clients can freeze or reset some APs.

              -a <ap_mac>

                     Test only the specified AP <ap_mac>.

              -m

                     Use a valid client MAC from OUI database.

              -c

                     Do NOT check if the authentication succeeded.

              -i <ap_mac>

                     Perform intelligent test on AP (-a and -c will be ignored).

                     This test connects clients to the AP and reinjects sniffed data to keep them
                     alive.

              -s <pps>

                     Set speed in packets per second (default: unlimited).

       p   - Basic probing and ESSID Bruteforce mode

              Probes AP and check for answer, useful for checking  if  SSID  has  been  correctly
              decloaked or if AP is within your Wi-Fi interface's sending range.

              Use -f and -t option to enable SSID Bruteforcing.

              -e <ssid>

                     Set the target SSID.

              -f <filename>

                     Read SSIDs from file, useful to bruteforce hidden networks.

              -t <bssid>

                     Set MAC address of target AP.

              -s <pps>

                     Set speed (default: unlimited; in Bruteforce mode: 300).

              -b <character set>

                     Use full Bruteforce mode (recommended for short SSIDs only!).

       d   - Deauthentication / Disassociation Amok Mode

              Kicks out everybody found from AP.

              -w <filename>

                     Read file containing MACs not to care about (Whitelist Mode).

              -b <filename>

                     Read file containing MACs to run tests on (Blacklist Mode).

              -s <pps>

                     Set speed in packets per second (default: unlimited).

              -c [chan,chan,chan,...]

                     Enable channel hopping.

                     Without  providing  any  channels,  mdk3  will  hop  an all 14 b/g channels.
                     Channel will be changed every 5 seconds.

       m   - Michael shutdown exploitation (TKIP)

              Cancels all traffic continuously.

              -t <bssid>

                     Set MAC address of target AP.

              -w <seconds>

                     Seconds between bursts (default: 10).

              -n <ppb>

                     Set packets per burst (default: 70).

              -j

                     Use the new TKIP QoS-Exploit.

                     Needs just a few packets to shut AP down!

              -s <pps>

                     Set speed (default: 400).

       x   - 802.1X tests.

                     -n <ssid>

                            Set the target SSID.

                     -t <bssid>

                            Set MAC address of target AP.

                     -w <WPA type>

                            Set WPA type (1: WPA, 2: WPA2/RSN; default: WPA).

                     -u <unicast cipher>

                            Set unicast cipher type (1: TKIP, 2: CCMP; default: TKIP).

                     -m <multicast cipher>

                            Set multicast cipher type (1: TKIP, 2: CCMP; default: TKIP).

                     -s <pps>

                            Set speed (default: 400).

              1 - EAPOL Logoff test

                     -t <bssid>

                            Set MAC address of target AP.

                            Set speed (default: 400).

       w   - WIDS/WIPS/WDS Confusion

              Confuses a WDS with multi-authenticated clients which messes up routing tables.

              -e <SSID>

                     Set SSID of target WDS network.

              -c [chan,chan,chan...]

                     Use channel hopping.

              -z

                     Activate Zero_Chaos' WIDS exploit  (authenticates  clients  from  a  WDS  to
                     foreign APs to make WIDS go nuts).

              f   - MAC filter bruteforce mode

                     Uses  a list of known client MAC Addresses and tries to authenticate them to
                     the given AP while  dynamically  changing  its  response  timeout  for  best
                     performance.

                     It  currently  works  only  on  APs  who deny an open authentication request
                     properly.

              -t <bssid>

                     Set MAC address of target AP.

              -m <mac>

                     Set the MAC address range to use (3 bytes, i.e. 00:12:34).

                     Without -m, the internal database will be used.

              -f <mac>

                     Set the MAC address to begin bruteforcing with (you can't use -f and  -m  at
                     the same time).

       g   - WPA Downgrade test

              Deauthenticates Stations and APs sending WPA encrypted packets.

              All the unencrypted and WEP networks will still work.

              -t <bssid>

                     Set MAC address of target AP.
