How to do it...

Here are the steps to write a script that can be used to run a dictionary attack on SSIDs:

1. As usual, create a new dictionary-attack-ssid.py file and open it in an editor.
2. Load all the required modules, and initialize the variables:

from scapy.all import *
senderMac = "aa:aa:aa:aa:aa:aa"
broadcastMac = "ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff"  

3. Then, we iterate through the SSIDs in the list and send a RadioTap() packet with the SSID set as the parameter:

for ssid in open('ssidList.txt', 'r').readlines():
     pkt = RadioTap()/Dot11(type = 0, subtype = 4 ,addr1 = broadcastMac, addr2 = senderMac, addr3 = broadcastMac)/Dot11ProbeReq()/Dot11Elt(ID=0, info =ssid.strip()) / Dot11Elt(ID=1, info = "\x02\x04\x0b\x16") / Dot11Elt(ID=3, info="\x08")
     print ...
