syntax – sudo airodump-ng -a<station filter> <monitor mode interface>

sudo airodump-ng -a wlan0mon

Step 5: Choose one Wi-Fi device

you must choose one wi-fi device which is associated with the client station. you have to write an access point mac address or bssid with command. In this command, you have to use your victim’s access point mac address in place of -bssid value and give the file location where you want to store the packets. -w means, locate a file where you want to save your capture packet.

sudo airodump-ng -c <channel_num> --bssid <ssid_name> -w <any_directory_location> wlan0mon
