Wifite v2 is now available
Get the latest version on Github
What’s new in this version:
support for cracking WPS-encrypted networks (via reaver)
2 new WEP attacks
more accurate WPA handshake capture
various bug fixes
Version 2 does not include a GUI, so everything must be done at the command-line.
Introduction
Designed and tested on Linux; works with Backtrack 5, BlackBuntu, BackBox, and Pentoo! Linux only; no windows or OSX support (but you’re welcome to try).
Purpose
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
Requirements
linux operating system (confirmed working on Backtrack 5, BackBox, BlackBuntu, Pentoo, Ubuntu 8.10 (BT4R1), Ubuntu 10.04, Debian 6, Fedora 16)
tested working with python 2.6.x, and python 2.7.x,
wireless drivers patched for monitor mode and injection. Most security distributions (Backtrack, BlackBuntu, etc) come with wireless drivers pre-patched,
aircrack-ng (v1.1) suite: available via apt: apt-get install aircrack-ng or at the aircrack-ng website,
Suggested Applications
reaver, for attacking WPS-encrypted networks
pyrit, cowpatty, tshark: not required, but help verify WPA handshake captures
For help installing any of these programs, see the installation guide (hosted on github)
Execution
