Software requirements

We will need the following software to set up the wireless lab:

• Kali: This software can be downloaded from the official website located at http://www.kali.org. The software is open source, and you should be able to download it directly from the website.
• Windows XP/Vista/7/10: You will need any one of Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 10 installed on one of the laptops. This laptop will be used as the victim machine for the rest of the book.

Note

Important to note is that even though we are using a Windows-based OS for our tests, the techniques learnt can be applied to any Wi-Fi-capable devices, such as smartphones and tablets, among others.
