Setting up a fake access point in Kali is very simple (using Gerix) and also very useful, so this tutorial should help you get started.

1. Navigate to the directory where Gerix is located
type "cd /usr/share/gerix-wifi-cracker", in terminal.

2. To begin using Gerix, we issue the following command:
python gerix.py

3. Click on the Configuration tab.

4. On the Configuration tab, select your wireless interface.

5. Click on the Enable/Disable Monitor Mode button.

6. Once Monitor mode has been enabled successfully, under Select Target Network,press the Rescan Networks button.

7. The list of targeted networks will begin to fill. Select a wireless network to target. In this case, we select a WEP encrypted network.

8. Click on the Fake AP tab.

9. Change the Access Point ESSID from honeypot to something less suspicious.
In this case, we are going to use personalnetwork.

10. We will use the defaults on each of the other options. To start the fake access point, click on the Start Face Access Point button.

Now you have successfully created a fake access point congrats!
