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:

  1. WPS: The Offline Pixie-Dust attack
  2. WPS: The Online Brute-Force PIN attack
  3. WPA: The WPA Handshake Capture + offline crack.
  4. WPA: The PMKID Hash Capture + offline crack.
  5. 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. ParrotSec is also supported.

Other pen-testing distributions (such as BackBox or Ubuntu) have outdated versions of the tools used by Wifite.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 Tools

First and foremost, you will need a wireless card capable of "Monitor Mode" and packet injection (see this tutorial for checking if your wireless card is compatible and also this guide). There are many cheap wireless cards that plug into USB available from online stores.

Second, only the latest versions of these programs are supported and must be installed for Wifite to work properly:

Required:

Optional, but Recommended:

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
