An instructional blog post explains how to build a software wireless access point on Ubuntu 16.04 using aircrack-ng (airbase-ng), bridge-utils, wireless-tools, rfkill, and ISC DHCP Server, then configure bridging (br0), DHCP, IP forwarding, and iptables NAT so clients can obtain network access while enabling traffic inspection for security testing of Wi‑Fi/IoT devices; it also notes alternative tools and cautions about handling sensitive data.
