Features :
- this project is available in French: all thanks goto Matt² for his excellent translation!
- sorts targets by power (in dB); cracks closest access points first
- automatically deauths clients of hidden networks to decloak SSIDs
- numerous filters to specify exactly what to attack (wep/wpa/both, above certain signal strengths, channels, etc)
- customizable settings (timeouts, packets/sec, channel, change mac address, ignore fake-auth, etc)
- "anonymous" feature; changes MAC to a random address before attacking, then changes back when attacks are complete
- all WPA handshakes are backed up to wifite.py's current directory
- smart WPA deauthentication -- cycles between all clients and broadcast deauths
- stop any attack with Ctrl+C -- options: continue, move onto next target, skip to cracking, or exit
- switching WEP attack methods does not reset IVs
- intel 4965 chipset fake-authentication support; uses wpa_supplicant workaround
- SKA support (untested)
- displays session summary at exit; shows any cracked keys
- all passwords saved to log.txt
- built-in updater: ./wifite.py -upgrade
Requirements :
- linux operating system
- tested working with python 2.4.5 and python 2.5.2; might be compatible with other versions,
- wireless drivers patched for monitor mode and injection
- aircrack-ng (v1.1) suite: available via apt: apt-get install aircrack-ng
- xterm, python-tk module: required for GUI, available via apt: apt-get install python-tk
- macchanger: also available via apt: apt-get install macchanger
- pyrit: not required, optionally strips wpa handshake from .cap files
Installing :
- Open terminal Ctrl+Alt+T and run this command
- ~$ wget -O wifite.py http://wifite.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/wifite.py
- ~$ chmod +x wifite.py
- ~$ sudo python wifite.py
Informations :
*To crack all WEP access points:
./wifite.py -all -nowpa
*To crack all WEP access points with signal strength greater than (or equal to) 50dB
./wifite.py -p 50 -nowpa
*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 -nowpa --dict none
*To crack all WEP access points greater than 50dB in strength, giving 15 minutes for each WEP attack method, and send packets at 600 packets/sec:
./wifite.py --power 50 -wepw 15 -pps 600
*To attempt to crack WEP-encrypted access point "2WIRE752" endlessly -- program will not stop until key is cracked or user interrrupts with ^C):
./wifite.py -e "2WIRE752" -wepw 0
