Airbase-ng has a limitation in the coding in that you cannot add directly into the command line a essid name that has spaces when using xterm. Hence if your target has a name like:
Home Wifi
A command line like
airbase-ng -c 1 -e "Home Wifi" -b xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx -v mon0
when using xterm may
cause airbase-ng to crash
When phishing this can become a problem when using this program in the field
Oe simple work around.
Write a file named essidlist having the name Home Wifi on the first line of the file.
echo "Home Wifi" > essidlist
You now have a file in root named essidlist
Use the option --essids (i.e. read the essid from a file)
Use the following command line
airbase-ng -c 1 --essids essidlist -b XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX -v mon0
We are currently coding this option into our Aerial.sh phishing programs for field operations.
