Explanation
A honeypot can be used to launch a Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attack on wireless clients by examining wireless clients' probe requests and then broadcasting the SSIDs in those probes. Clients with those SSIDs in their preferred network list may then automatically connect to the honeypot, believing it to be a legitimate network. Once the client is connected to the attacker's honeypot, the attacker can intercept, monitor, or manipulate the client's traffic, effectively executing a MITM attack.
