Wifite

This repo is a complete re-write of wifite, a Python script for auditing wireless networks.

Wifite runs existing wireless-auditing tools for you. Stop memorizing command arguments & switches!

Wifite is designed to use all known methods for retrieving the password of a wireless access point (router). These methods include:

WPS: The Offline Pixie-Dust attack
WPS: The Online Brute-Force PIN attack
WPA: The WPA Handshake Capture + offline crack.
WPA: The PMKID Hash Capture + offline crack.
WEP: Various known attacks against WEP, including fragmentation, chop-chop, aireplay, etc.

Run wifite, select your targets, and Wifite will automatically start trying to capture or crack the password.

Supported Operating Systems

Wifite is designed specifically for the latest version of Kali Linux. && Termux full supoort is also supported.

Other pen-testing distributions have outdated versions of the tools used by Wifite. Do not expect support unless you are using the latest versions of the Required Tools, and also patched wireless drivers that support injection.

Required:

python: Wifite is compatible with both python2 and python3.
iwconfig: For identifying wireless devices already in Monitor Mode.
ifconfig: For starting/stopping wireless devices.
Aircrack-ng suite, includes:
- airmon-ng: For enumerating and enabling Monitor Mode on wireless devices.
- aircrack-ng: For cracking WEP .cap files and WPA handshake captures.
- aireplay-ng: For deauthing access points, replaying capture files, various WEP attacks.
- airodump-ng: For target scanning & capture file generation.
- packetforge-ng: For forging capture files.

Run Wifite

git clone https://github.com/derv82/wifite2.git
cd wifite2
sudo ./Wifite.py

Install Wifite

To install onto your computer (so you can just run wifite from any terminal), run:

sudo python setup.py install

This will install wifite to /usr/sbin/wifite which should be in your terminal path.

Note: Uninstalling is not as easy. The only way to uninstall is to record the files installed by the above command and remove those files:

sudo python setup.py install --record files.txt \
  && cat files.txt | xargs sudo rm \
  && rm -f files.txt

What's new?

Comparing this repo to the "old wifite" @ https://github.com/derv82/wifite

Less bugs
- Cleaner process management. Does not leave processes running in the background (the old wifite was bad about this).
- No longer "one monolithic script". Has working unit tests. Pull requests are less-painful!
Speed
- Target access points are refreshed every second instead of every 5 seconds.
Accuracy
- Displays realtime Power level of currently-attacked target.
- Displays more information during an attack (e.g. % during WEP chopchop attacks, Pixie-Dust step index, etc)
Educational
- The --verbose option (expandable to -vv or -vvv) shows which commands are executed & the output of those commands.
- This can help debug why Wifite is not working for you. Or so you can learn how these tools are used.
More-actively developed.
Python 3 support.
