In this video of Cyber Security Tutorial #52, I explained Wi-Fi hacking fundamentals step by step for beginners using Kali Linux with VirtualBox.
I clearly explained why a USB Wi-Fi adapter is required, why laptop internal Wi-Fi does NOT work for hacking, and how monitor mode & packet capturing actually work in real attacks.
