Installing a wireless network tap involves the attacker placing a physical device between the target and the network device they're trying to communicate with.

Just as a phone tap is a physical bug installed on a phone line, and an ethernet tap is a physical device with two ethernet ports physically on the network, a wireless tap is a physical device with a wireless connection to both the attacker and their authentic network device (the router, modem, etc.)

The Evil Twin attack creates a fake access point to act as a wireless tap. See the Evil Twin page for information on how the Evil Twin attack is set up, how the sheep is connected to the evil twin, and how the network bridge (the actual software tap device) is installed.
