A tester needs to begin capturing WLAN credentials for cracking during an on-site engagement.

The command airodump-ng -c 6 --bssid is used to capture WPA/WPA2 4-way handshakes on a specific channel and BSSID. This handshake is necessary for offline password cracking using tools like Hashcat or John the Ripper.

From the CompTIA PenTest+ PT0-003 Official Study Guide (Chapter 7 – Wireless Attacks):

“Airodump-ng is used to capture handshakes between a client and access point. The attacker can then attempt to crack the captured handshake offline.”
