About Aircrack-ng
Aircrack-ng is a complete suite of tools for assessing WiFi network security. It focuses on monitoring (packet capture and export of data to text files), attacking (replay attacks, deauthentication, fake access points), testing (checking WiFi cards and driver capabilities), and cracking (WEP and WPA PSK). All tools are command-line based, allowing heavy scripting and automation. It works primarily with Linux but also supports Windows, macOS, FreeBSD, and others.
About mdk4
mdk4 is a Wi-Fi testing tool that exploits common IEEE 802.11 protocol weaknesses. It is the successor to mdk3, rewritten to work with the modern cfg80211 wireless subsystem in Linux. mdk4 provides a suite of attacks for wireless penetration testing including beacon flooding (creating thousands of fake access points), authentication/deauthentication flooding, SSID brute forcing, 802.11s mesh network exploitation, and WDS confusion attacks. It can probe access points for connected clients, test for MAC filtering bypass, and stress-test wireless infrastructure under various attack conditions. mdk4 is primarily used to test the resilience of wireless networks and intrusion detection systems against denial of service and protocol-level attacks. It requires a wireless adapter in monitor mode.
