A rogue Access Point framework for conducting Wi-Fi security testing and phishing attacks during red team engagements.
Wifiphisher is a rogue Access Point framework used for Wi-Fi security testing and red team engagements. It enables penetration testers to perform man-in-the-middle attacks by luring wireless clients to connect to a fake access point, then launching customized phishing attacks to capture credentials or deliver malware. The tool supports various association techniques like Evil Twin, KARMA, and Known Beacons.
Security professionals, penetration testers, and red teamers conducting authorized Wi-Fi security assessments and social engineering engagements. It is particularly useful for those testing wireless network defenses and user awareness.
Developers choose Wifiphisher for its comprehensive set of modern Wi-Fi attack techniques, modular design allowing custom scenarios, and intuitive interface that balances power with usability. Its research-driven approach incorporates advanced phishing methods not found in other tools.

Supports Evil Twin, KARMA, and Known Beacons for versatile man-in-the-middle positioning, allowing penetration testers to adapt to various wireless environments.
Enables users to write Python modules for custom scenarios or extensions, facilitating targeted attacks based on specific research or client needs.
Features an interactive textual UI that guides through attack setup, making advanced phishing techniques accessible despite the tool's complexity.
Incorporates state-of-the-art techniques like Lure10 and Known Beacons, which were disclosed by the project's developers, keeping it at the forefront of Wi-Fi security testing.
Requires a Linux system with specific wireless adapters supporting AP and monitor modes, restricting use to compatible setups and increasing initial configuration effort.
The README explicitly states it's not 'script-kiddie friendly,' demanding a solid grasp of Wi-Fi security concepts and ethical testing practices to avoid misuse or ineffectiveness.
Techniques like deauthentication broadcasts and rogue AP signals can be easily detected by modern network monitoring tools, limiting stealth in well-secured environments.
