Kali Linux tutorial and Linux Tips
Choosing the right WiFi adapter depends on several factors such as your specific needs, budget, compatibility with your devices, and the features you require.
Here are some considerations to help you choose the right WiFi adapter:

Each Client connection (Station) to a WiFi access point is a rather complicated process of exchanging random data (generated for a particular connection) and keys. This data set is called WPA handshake. There are four elements in it that various authors call messages (messages), exchanges, or packages. Also, message 1 is usually denoted M1, message 2 is M2, message 3 is M3 and message 4 is M4.
The WiFi password is not transmitted in open form at any stage, however, the handshake contains enough information for brute-force selection of a password. As already mentioned, there should be four elements in the handshake. You can view the composition of the handshake with various tools, for example, using Wireshark , for this purpose the tool has an “ eapol ” filter:
Hacking WiFi without users in Aircrack-ng
About hacking WiFi, which are not connected to the clients, described in the previous article ” Hacking WiFi without users .” There are technical details on why this attack is possible. In short, some Access Points, when associating with them, send a PMKID, which can be used to crack a password instead of a full handshake. That is, we obtain the necessary data for cracking a password without capturing the usual four-step handshake, therefore, this attack is possible on Access Points, even without connected stations.
In the article referred to, we used the following programs:
Attack on WiFi without clients ( PMKID attack )
There are a large number of various attacks on WiFi . The most universal attack (working against virtually all access points) is an attack on WPA/WPA2 technology, since it is used in the vast majority of wireless access points. WPA/WPA2, when clients connect to an access point, use the EAPOL security protocol, during which there is a gradual exchange of data between the access point and the client that wants to connect. The essence of the attack lies in the fact that it is necessary to intercept the entire (or at least a part) of the transmitted data and use the search method to find a suitable password. Simply put, you first need to grab a handshake (at the EAPOL stage), and then use brute-force to find the correct password.
At each of these two stages, difficulties may arise: problems with the seizure of a handshake can be caused by many reasons, the most fatal of them being the lack of clients. That is if there are no connecting clients, then the EAPOL protocol is not used, which means there is nothing to intercept.
