Hello i was wondering you can update your firmware and add:
Capturing Handshakes: By combining a deauth attack with a monitor mode, it can be used to capture 4-way handshakes from devices attempting to reconnect, which can later be cracked offline to find the network password.
Evil Twin / Phishing: The board can be programmed to act as an Evil Twin access point. By deauthenticating users from a legitimate network and hosting a fake clone with a captive portal, an attacker can trick users into entering credentials.
WiFi Tracking Obfuscation: The "Probe" attack specifically works to confuse WiFi trackers by flooding the air with requests for various network names, making it difficult for tracking systems to pinpoint a specific device.
