  2. We then connect to this access point using the iwconfig wlan0 essid Wireless Lab command and verify that the connection has succeeded and that we are connected to the access point.
  3. Note that we did not have to supply any username/password/passphrase to get through Open Authentication.

What just happened?

This is probably the simplest exercise so far. As you saw, there is no barrier to connecting to an Open Authentication network and connecting to the access point.
