In this example, we will carry out an attack similar to what was demonstrated with MDK3 with Metasploit and its fakeap module. This attack will require a little prework as you will need to add packet injection capabilities to the Metasploit framework. You can add this functionality using lorcon2, a set of libraries and interfaces specifically for packet injection onto wireless networks.
