in Linux-based systems and the security implications of forcibly terminating this process ("killing" it) during a wireless penetration test. We demonstrate that, while designed to manage authentication, a forced termination can be used to compel a client to re-authenticate, allowing an attacker to capture a WPA/WPA2 handshake. This paper highlights the vulnerability of the handshake exchange and recommends countermeasures. 2. Introduction Background:
