WiFite Description
To attack multiple WEP, WPA, and WPS encrypted networks in a row. This tool is customizable to be automated with only a few arguments. Wifite aims to be the 'set it and forget it' wireless auditing tool.
Features
- sorts targets by signal strength (in dB); cracks closest access points first
- automatically de-authenticates clients of hidden networks to reveal SSIDs
- numerous filters to specify exactly what to attack (wep/wpa/both, above certain signal strengths, channels, etc)
- customizable settings (timeouts, packets/sec, etc)
- 'anonymous' feature; changes MAC to a random address before attacking, then changes back when attacks are complete
- all captured WPA handshakes are backed up to wifite.py's current directory
- smart WPA de-authentication; cycles between all clients and broadcast deauths
- stop any attack with Ctrl+C, with options to continue, move onto next target, skip to cracking, or exit
- displays session summary at exit; shows any cracked keys
- all passwords saved to cracked.txt
- built-in updater: ./wifite.py -upgrade

WiFite Usage Example
Attack access points with over 50 dB of power (-pow 50) using the WPS attack (-wps):
How to install WiFite
The program is pre-installed on Kali Linux.
Installation on Linux (Debian, Mint, Ubuntu)
Required Programs
Please see the installation guide on the wiki for help installing any of the tools below.
- Python 2.7.x. Wifite is a Python script and requires Python to run.
- aircrack-ng suite. This is absolutely required. The specific programs used in the suite are:
airodump-ng
packetforge-ng
Standard linux programs.
- iwconfig, ifconfig, which, iw
Wifi Test
Suggested Programs
- reaver, a Wifi-Protected Setup (WPS) attack tool. Reaver includes a scanner 'walsh' (or 'wash') for detecting WPS-enabled access points. Wifite uses Reaver to scan for and attack WPS-enabled routers.
- pyrit, a GPU cracker for WPA PSK keys. Wifite uses pyrit (if found) to detect handshakes. In the future, Wifite may include an option to crack WPA handshakes via pyrit.
- tshark. Comes bundled with Wireshark, packet sniffing software.
- cowpatty, a WPA PSK key cracker. Wifite uses cowpatty (if found) to detect handshakes.
