These techniques describe how to test wireless networks for security holes. It is very important to check if your network is vulnerable
Check if the network has some form of security
If you can connect to the access point without any trouble, the network is not secured. Check the instructions at #Security your network.
First, you need to install some tools. Execute the following command in the terminal application:
sudo yum install wireshark kismet aircrack-ng nessus bind-utils traceroute

aireplay -0 5 -a <AP MAC> -c <Client MAC> ath0
