Wifite 2.1.0 - Automated Wireless Attack Tool

What's new in Wifite2?

• 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.
• Actively developed (as of March 2018).
• Python 3 support.
• Sweet new ASCII banner.

What's gone in Wifite2?

• No more WPS PIN attack, because it can take days on-average.
  • However, the Pixie-Dust attack is still an option.
• Some command-line arguments (--wept, --wpst, and other confusing switches).
  • You can still access some of these, try ./Wifite.py -h -v

What's not new?

• (Mostly) Backwards compatibile with the original wifite's arguments.
• Same text-based interface everyone knows and loves.

Brief Feature List

• Reaver (or -bully) Pixie-Dust attack (enabled by-default, force with: --wps-only)
• WPA handshake capture (enabled by-default, force with: --no-wps)
• Validates handshakes against pyrit, tshark, cowpatty, and aircrack-ng (when available)
• Various WEP attacks (replay, chopchop, fragment, hirte, p0841, caffe-latte)
• Automatically decloaks hidden access points while scanning or attacking.
  • Note: Only works when channel is fixed. Use the -c <channel> switch.
  • Disable this via --no-deauths switch
• 5Ghz support for some wireless cards (via -5 switch).
  • Note: Some tools don't play well on 5GHz channels (e.g. aireplay-ng)
• Stores cracked passwords and handshakes to the current directory (--cracked)
  • Includes metadata about the access point.
• Provides commands to crack captured WPA handshakes (--crack)
  • Includes all commands needed to crack using aircrack-ng, john, hashcat, or pyrit.

Linux Distribution Support
Wifite2 is designed specifically for the latest version of Kali's rolling release (tested on Kali 2017.2, updated Jan 2018).
Other pen-testing distributions (such as BackBox) have outdated versions of the tools used by Wifite; these distributions are not supported.

Required Tools
Only the latest versions of these programs are supported:
Required:

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

Optional, but Recommended:

• tshark: For detecting WPS networks and inspecting handshake capture files.
• reaver: For WPS Pixie-Dust attacks.
  • Note: Reaver's wash tool can be used to detect WPS networks if tshark is not found.
• bully: For WPS Pixie-Dust attacks.
  • Alternative to Reaver. Specify --bully to use Bully instead of Reaver.
  • Bully is also used to fetch PSK if reaver cannot after cracking WPS PIN.
• cowpatty: For detecting handshake captures.
• pyrit: For detecting handshake captures.

Installing & Running

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