How to Use MITMf to Man-in-the-Middle Passwords Over Wi-Fi on Kali Linux

Networking is built largely on trust. Most devices do not verify that another device is what it identifies itself to be, so long as it functions as expected. In the case of a man-in-the-middle attack, we can abuse this trust by impersonating a wireless access point, allowing us to intercept and modify network data. This can be dangerous for private data, but also be fun for pranking your friends.

In this case, we'll be intercepting and manipulating traffic from within a local area network, often times a Wi-Fi network connected to a wireless router. Keep in mind that a man-in-the-middle (MitM) attack still involves intercepting and modifying traffic, and without permission, this could be illegal depending on your jurisdiction.
