Attack WPA2-PSK Wi-Fi end to end — monitor mode, network discovery, handshake/PMKID capture, and offline cracking. Load on an authorized wireless engagement with a WPA2-personal network in scope. Signals: an SSID/BSSID to test, a wireless adapter in monitor mode, a captured .pcap/.22000, "crack the Wi-Fi", "capture the handshake", aircrack-ng/hcxdumptool in play.

# WPA2-PSK attacks
## When it applies
An authorized wireless assessment where a WPA2-Personal (pre-shared key) network is in scope and you
have a monitor-mode-capable adapter within radio range. This is `pentest`-only — wireless testing
needs physical proximity and authorization for the specific SSIDs (record them in `scope.txt`).
## Why it works
WPA2-PSK derives its session keys from the passphrase and values exchanged in the 4-way handshake.
Capture that handshake (or a single PMKID from the AP) and you can brute the passphrase offline — no
further interaction with the network, no lockout. Weak/guessable PSKs fall quickly.
## Method
1. **Monitor mode.** `airmon-ng check kill` then `airmon-ng start wlan0` (interface → `wlan0mon`).
