March 5, 2018
2 Min Read

Wifite is a Python script for auditing wireless networks which aims to be the “set it and forget it” wireless auditing tool.

 

What’s new in Wifite 2?

  • Lots of files instead of “one big script”.
  • Cleaner process management — No longer leaves processes running in the background.
  • UX: Target access points are refreshed every second instead of every 5 seconds.
  • UX: Displays realtime Power level (in db) of currently-attacked target

 

What’s not new?

  • Backwards compatibility with the original wifite‘s arguments.
  • Same text-based interface everyone knows and loves.

 

Full Feature List

  • Reaver Pixie-Dust attack (--pixie)
  • Reaver WPS PIN attack (--reaver)
  • WPA handshake capture (--no-reaver)
  • Validates handshakes against pyrit, tshark, cowpatty, and aircrack-ng
  • Various WEP attacks (replay, chopchop, fragment, etc)
  • 5Ghz support for wireless cards that support 5ghz (use -5 option)
  • Stores cracked passwords and handshakes to the current directory, with metadata about the access point (via --crackedcommand).
  • Decloaks hidden access points when channel is fixed (use -c <channel> option)
  • Provides commands to crack captured WPA handshakes (via --crack command)

 

Support

Wifite2 is designed entirely for the latest version of Kali Rolling release (tested on Kali 2016.2, updated May 2017). This means only the latest versions of these programs are supported: Aircrack-ng suite, reaver, tshark, cowpatty. Other pen-testing distributions (such as BackBox) have outdated versions of these suites; these distributions are not supported.
