MDK 3.0 v6 - "Yeah, well, whatever"
by ASPj of k2wrlz, using the osdep library from aircrack-ng
And with lots of help from the great aircrack-ng community:

THANK YOU!
MDK is a proof-of-concept tool to exploit common IEEE 802.11 protocol weaknesses.
IMPORTANT: It is your responsibility to make sure you have permission from the
network owner before running MDK against it.

MDK USAGE:
mdk3 <interface> <test_mode> [test_options]
Try mdk3 --fullhelp for all test options
Try mdk3 --help <test_mode> for info about one test only
TEST MODES:
b - Beacon Flood Mode
Sends beacon frames to show fake APs at clients.
This can sometimes crash network scanners and even drivers!
a - Authentication DoS mode
Sends authentication frames to all APs found in range.
Too much clients freeze or reset some APs.
p - Basic probing and ESSID Bruteforce mode
Probes AP and check for answer, useful for checking if SSID has
been correctly decloaked or if AP is in your adaptors sending range
SSID Bruteforcing is also possible with this test mode.
d - Deauthentication / Disassociation Amok Mode
Kicks everybody found from AP
m - Michael shutdown exploitation (TKIP)
Cancels all traffic continuously
x - 802.1X tests
w - WIDS/WIPS Confusion
Confuse/Abuse Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems
f - MAC filter bruteforce mode
This test uses a list of known client MAC Addresses and tries to
authenticate them to the given AP while dynamically changing
its response timeout for best performance. It currently works only
on APs who deny an open authentication request properly
g - WPA Downgrade test
deauthenticates Stations and APs sending WPA encrypted packets.
With this test you can check if the sysadmin will try setting his
network to WEP or disable encryption.

NAME
mdk3 - wireless attack tool for IEEE 802.11 networks
SYNOPSIS
mdk3 <interface> <test_mode> [test_options]
DESCRIPTION
MDK is a proof-of-concept tool to exploit common IEEE 802.11 protocol weaknesses.
OPTIONS
--fullhelp
Show all test options.
--help <test_mode>
Show test options about <test_mode>.
TEST MODES
b - Beacon Flood Mode
Sends beacon frames to show fake APs at clients.
This can sometimes crash network scanners and even drivers!
a - Authentication DoS mode
Sends authentication frames to all APs found in range.
Too much clients can freeze or reset some APs.
p - Basic probing and ESSID Bruteforce mode
Probes AP and check for answer, useful for checking if SSID has been correctly decloaked or if AP is within your Wi-Fi interface's sending range.
SSID Bruteforcing is also possible with this test mode.
d - Deauthentication / Disassociation Amok Mode
Kicks out everybody found from AP.
m - Michael shutdown exploitation (TKIP)
Cancels all traffic continuously.
x - 802.1X tests.
w - WIDS/WIPS Confusion.
Confuse/Abuse Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems.
f - MAC filter bruteforce mode
Uses a list of known client MAC Addresses and tries to authenticate them to the given AP while dynamically changing its response timeout for best performance. It currently works only on APs
who deny an open authentication request properly.
g - WPA Downgrade test
Deauthenticates Stations and APs sending WPA encrypted packets.
All the unencrypted and WEP networks will still work.
TEST MODES OPTIONS
b - Beacon Flood Mode
Sends beacon frames to show fake APs at clients.
This can sometimes crash network scanners and even drivers!
-n <ssid>
Use SSID <ssid> instead of randomly generated ones.
-f <filename>
Read SSIDs from file.
-v <filename>
Read MACs and SSIDs from file. See example file at /usr/share/doc/mdk3/fakeap-example.txt.
-d
Fake Ad-Hoc stations.
-w
Fake WEP encrypted stations.
-g
Fake 802.11b stations (54 Mbit/s).
-t
Fake WPA TKIP encrypted stations.
-a
Fake WPA AES encrypted stations.
-m
Use valid accesspoint MAC from OUI database.
-h
Hop to channel where AP is spoofed.
This makes the test more effective against some devices/drivers but it reduces packet rate due to channel hopping.
-c <chan>
Fake an AP on channel <chan>. If you want your card to hop on this channel, you have to set -h option, too!
-s <pps>
Set speed in packets per second (default: 50).
a - Authentication DoS mode
Sends authentication frames to all APs found in range.
Too much clients can freeze or reset some APs.
-a <ap_mac>
Test only the specified AP <ap_mac>.
-m
Use a valid client MAC from OUI database.
-c
Do NOT check if the authentication succeeded.
-i <ap_mac>
Perform intelligent test on AP (-a and -c will be ignored).
This test connects clients to the AP and reinjects sniffed data to keep them alive.
-s <pps>
Set speed in packets per second (default: unlimited).
p - Basic probing and ESSID Bruteforce mode
Probes AP and check for answer, useful for checking if SSID has been correctly decloaked or if AP is within your Wi-Fi interface's sending range.
Use -f and -t option to enable SSID Bruteforcing.
-e <ssid>
Set the target SSID.
-f <filename>
Read SSIDs from file, useful to bruteforce hidden networks.
-t <bssid>
Set MAC address of target AP.
-s <pps>
Set speed (default: unlimited; in Bruteforce mode: 300).
-b <character set>
Use full Bruteforce mode (recommended for short SSIDs only!).
d - Deauthentication / Disassociation Amok Mode
Kicks out everybody found from AP.
-w <filename>
Read file containing MACs not to care about (Whitelist Mode).
-b <filename>
Read file containing MACs to run tests on (Blacklist Mode).
-s <pps>
Set speed in packets per second (default: unlimited).
-c [chan,chan,chan,...]
Enable channel hopping.
Without providing any channels, mdk3 will hop an all 14 b/g channels. Channel will be changed every 5 seconds.
m - Michael shutdown exploitation (TKIP)
Cancels all traffic continuously.
-t <bssid>
Set MAC address of target AP.
-w <seconds>
Seconds between bursts (default: 10).
-n <ppb>
Set packets per burst (default: 70).
-j
Use the new TKIP QoS-Exploit.
Needs just a few packets to shut AP down!
-s <pps>
Set speed (default: 400).
x - 802.1X tests.
0 - EAPOL Start packet flooding
-n <ssid>
Set the target SSID.
-t <bssid>
Set MAC address of target AP.
-w <WPA type>
Set WPA type (1: WPA, 2: WPA2/RSN; default: WPA).
-u <unicast cipher>
Set unicast cipher type (1: TKIP, 2: CCMP; default: TKIP).
-m <multicast cipher>
Set multicast cipher type (1: TKIP, 2: CCMP; default: TKIP).
-s <pps>
Set speed (default: 400).
1 - EAPOL Logoff test
-t <bssid>
Set MAC address of target AP.
-c <bssid>
Set MAC address of target STA.
-s <pps>
Set speed (default: 400).
w - WIDS/WIPS/WDS Confusion
Confuses a WDS with multi-authenticated clients which messes up routing tables.
-e <SSID>
Set SSID of target WDS network.
-c [chan,chan,chan...]
Use channel hopping.
-z
Activate Zero_Chaos' WIDS exploit (authenticates clients from a WDS to foreign APs to make WIDS go nuts).
f - MAC filter bruteforce mode
Uses a list of known client MAC Addresses and tries to authenticate them to the given AP while dynamically changing its response timeout for best performance.
It currently works only on APs who deny an open authentication request properly.
-t <bssid>
Set MAC address of target AP.
-m <mac>
Set the MAC address range to use (3 bytes, i.e. 00:12:34).
Without -m, the internal database will be used.
-f <mac>
Set the MAC address to begin bruteforcing with (you can't use -f and -m at the same time).
g - WPA Downgrade test
Deauthenticates Stations and APs sending WPA encrypted packets.
All the unencrypted and WEP networks will still work.
-t <bssid>
Set MAC address of target AP.
