Why each option
Airjack is a wireless packet injection tool that can automate man-in-the-middle attacks on 802.11 wireless networks.
Airjack is a suite of 802.11 wireless device drivers designed for raw packet injection, enabling it to send deauthentication frames that disconnect clients from their legitimate access point and then redirect traffic through an attacker-controlled intermediary. This capability makes it one of the few tools explicitly built to automate the sequence of steps required for a wireless MITM attack.
Kismet is a passive wireless network detector, sniffer, and intrusion detection system used to enumerate networks and devices, not to inject frames or conduct MITM attacks.
IKECrack is a tool designed to crack IKE/IPSec pre-shared key and aggressive-mode authentication, targeting VPN credentials rather than performing traffic interception.
Hotspotter exploits the preferred network list of wireless clients by impersonating known SSIDs to lure clients to a rogue AP, but it is not a general-purpose tool for automating the full MITM attack chain.
