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.
