If you are successful in acquiring the WPA or WEP key, you now have the ability to authenticate to the network. Once on the wireless network, you have the same range of tools that we have discussed throughout this book. This is due to the fact that once properly authenticated, your Kali Linux installation is just part of a Local Area Network (LAN), just as we would be if we were connected via a network cable. Therefore, we have the ability to scan for other devices, leverage vulnerabilities, exploit systems, and elevate our credentials.
