An Evil Twin attack is a type of wireless network attack where an attacker sets up a rogue wireless access point (AP) that mimics a legitimate one. The attacker's goal is to intercept wireless traffic from legitimate users who connect to the rogue AP, steal sensitive information such as login credentials, financial information, or other confidential data, and potentially conduct other malicious activities. The Evil Twin attack can be carried out using several methods, including using social engineering techniques to trick users into connecting to the rogue AP or using tools to deauthenticate users from the legitimate AP to force them to connect to the rogue one.
