How to do it...

Let's try creating a fake SSID with the following steps:

1. Create a new fake-access-point.py file and open it in the editor.
2. Load the required modules for the script:

from scapy.all import *
import random  

Here we use the scapy and random modules for creating random MAC IDs

3. Then define the access point name and the interface to broadcast:

ssid = "fakeap" 
iface = "en0"  

4. Now we can craft the packet with the beacon frame as follows:

dot11 = Dot11(type=0, subtype=8, addr1='ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff', addr2=str(RandMAC()), addr3=str(RandMAC()))
dot11beacon = Dot11Beacon(cap='ESS+privacy')
dot11essid = Dot11Elt(ID='SSID',info=ssid, len=len(ssid))
 rsn = Dot11Elt(ID='RSNinfo', info=(
    '\x01\x00'                 #For RSN Version 1
   '\x00\x0f\xac\x02' ...
