As was discussed in the previous chapter, identifying wireless target networks is a critical step in wireless penetration testing. There are tools that are contained within the NetHunter platform that can perform wireless scanning and target identification. There are also third-party applications that have the added benefit of a user-friendly interface that can often gather the same, or more detailed, information about a possible target network.
NetHunter includes the Aircrack-ng suite of tools that was discussed in Chapter 11, Wireless Penetration Testing, and works in the same way from the command line. Here, we will open up a command shell and type in airoddump-ng to identify potential target networks:
Just as in the Kali Linux OS, we are able to determine the BSSID, the channel, and the SSID that is being broadcast.
