This package contains a security tool that mounts automated phishing attacks against Wi-Fi networks in order to obtain secret passphrases or other credentials. It is a social engineering attack that unlike other methods it does not include any brute forcing. It is an easy way for obtaining credentials from captive portals and third party login pages or WPA/WPA2 secret passphrases.

Only use this tool against systems you own or are explicitly authorized to test — see the disclaimer.

Getting started

Install on Kali Linux with `sudo apt install wifiphisher`. See the official Kali tool page and upstream homepage linked above for full usage and configuration details.
