WHAT IT DOES

What aircrack_suite does on MCP Kali Pentest

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why aircrack_suite needs a policy

aircrack-ng is a well-known wireless network security auditing toolset used to crack WPA/WEP encryption keys. This tool executes an active attack workflow against wireless networks, capturing handshakes and performing credential cracking. While it doesn't directly delete data, its primary function is executing unauthorized access attacks against network infrastructure — a highly offensive security operation.
