Wifite

Wifite is an automated wireless auditor tool designed to attack multiple WEP, WPA, and WPS encrypted networks in sequence without supervision. It sorts targets by signal strength and cracks the closest networks first. It supports numerous attacks against wireless security protocols and captures WPA handshakes for offline cracking. The tool runs on Linux systems and requires other wireless auditing tools like aircrack-ng to function.

Wifite v2 is now available


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.

mention in the New York Times


Wifite was mentioned in the New York Times' article "New Hacking Tools Pose Bigger Threats to Wi-Fi Users" from February 16, 2011. Here is a link to the article.

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)

Fully Automated Mass WPA / WEP Hacker with Wifi...

examples
the program contains lots of interactivity (waits for user input). these command-line options are meant to make the program 100% automated -- no supervision required. to crack all WEP access points:
./wifite.py -all -wep

to crack all WPS access points with signal strength greater than (or equal to) 50dB:
./wifite.py -p 50 -wps

to attack all access points, use 'darkc0de.lst' for cracking WPA handshakes:
./wifite.py -all --dict /pentest/passwords/wordlists/darkc0de.lst

to attack all WPA access points, but do not try to crack -- any captured handshakes are saved automatically:
./wifite.py -all -wpa --dict none

to crack all WEP access points greater than 50dB in strength, giving 5 minutes for each WEP attack method, and send packets at 600 packets/sec:
./wifite.py --pow 50 -wept 300 -pps 600

to attempt to crack WEP-encrypted access point "2WIRE752" endlessly -- program will not stop until key is cracked or user interrrupts with ctrl+C):
./wifite.py -e "2WIRE752" -wept 0

donations
If you wish to donate to this project, I ask that you donate instead to the aircrack-ng team or you could buy something from Tactical Network Solutions. These are the teams which produced the awesome open-source software that wifite depends on. Wifite would not exist if not for these amazing tools.
