If you are successful in acquiring the WPA or WEP key, you now have the ability to authenticate to the network. Once on the wireless network, you have the same range of tools that we have discussed throughout this book. This is due to the fact that once properly authenticated, your Kali Linux installation is just part of a Local Area Network (LAN), just as we would be if we were connected via a network cable. Therefore, we have the ability to scan for other devices, leverage vulnerabilities, exploit systems, and elevate our credentials.
There are a few techniques that are useful in demonstrating other vulnerabilities on wireless networks that we can explore. One such issue is bypassing a common wireless control called MAC filtering. MAC filtering is a control on some routers whereby only specific MAC addresses or MAC types are allowed. For example, you may be testing a commercial location that utilizes iPads. The wireless network is only going to allow MAC addresses...
