What is a Fake Access Point(AP)?
A fake AP is an AP that looks normal to users and doesn't have encryption on it, so people can connect without having to enter a key. It's an open network, and it should have an internet connection to attract people to it.
Why would we create a fake Access Point? Well, if we create one, we will attract a large number of people to connect to the network and access the internet. They will log in to their accounts, and we can use packet sniffing to capture anything that they log.

What is Packet Sniffing?
Packet sniffing is the practice of gathering, collecting, and logging some or all packets that pass through a computer network. In this way, every packet, or a defined subset of packets, may be gathered, stored and analyzed in order to better understand exactly what data is being sent across a given network.
Packet sniffing is a valuable tool for monitoring the performance of a network and diagnosing issues.

What is Domain Hijacking?
Domain hijacking is an attack whereby a threat actor takes control of a victim’s domain name.
Generally, domain names are hijacked by adversaries with the intent to steal customer data (or even steal customers), interrupt the trading of other businesses.One of the most high-profile recent examples of this type of attack occurred when the perl.com domain was hijacked.
Most domain hijacking attacks happen when an attacker gathers personal information about the domain owner and uses this information to impersonate the owner to the domain registrar, convincing them to modify the registration information. It can also happen when domain owner email addresses are compromised, or in conjunction with phishing attacks.

What is the domain transfer process?
All registries have a process to transfer domain names from one owner to another. Generally, the process for doing this is as follows:
Domain owner disables WHOIS/domain privacy so that the new registrar can verify ownership of the domain to be transferred
Domain owner disables any transfer lock protections on the domain to be transferred.
Domain owner obtains a transfer authorisation code (or EPP, or auth code, or transfer code, etc.)
This step is dependent on the registry the domain belongs to.
For Nominet-controlled domains (i.e., .uk, .co.uk, .org.uk and .me.uk for example), a user who wishes to transfer a domain from one registrar to another registrar needs to set a value on their domain which is known as an IPS tag. IPS stands for "Internet Provider Security", and it acts as a label identifying domain registrars when administering domain name registration and DNS services. It’s also known as a "registrar tag". When a domain is to be transferred from one registrar to another, the original registrar needs to update the IPS tag of the domain to reflect the tag of the new registrar.
The new owner requests a domain transfer from their new registrar.
The existing domain owner receives an email to the administrative email address on file for the domain requesting authorisation to transfer the domain. If the existing domain owner approves the transfer, the transfer proceeds.
