Wireless "Deauth" Attack using Aireplay-ng, Python, and Scapy

Introduction

A couple of days ago I received my order of a nifty Alfa AWUS036H and decided it'd be a perfect time to explore a few common wireless attacks. This post will explore how to perform a common "Deauthentication Attack" both the "easy" way using a fantastic tool called aireplay-ng, as well as writing our own tool in Python to perform the attack for us using the extremely powerful Scapy module. In this post I won't be going into detail about basic wireless mechanisms, but if you'd like a very comprehensive guide to understanding the topic, I really recommend the Wireless LAN Security and Penetration Testing Megaprimer on SecurityTube. With that said, let's deauth some clients.
