What Wifiphisher is

Wifiphisher is a free Linux framework for penetration testers conducting red team engagements or Wi-Fi security testing. It creates rogue access points and supports customized web phishing scenarios that can capture credentials or deliver payloads. Its association techniques include Evil Twin, KARMA, and Known Beacons. Community-driven templates are included, and users can create their own scenarios or extend the tool with Python modules. Extension code runs without a sandbox. Wifiphisher identifies Kali Linux as its officially supported distribution and is also available as source code and packages for Linux security distributions including Arch Linux. Running it requires a wireless adapter that supports AP and monitor modes, packet injection, and netlink-capable drivers. The project provides detached GPG signatures and checksums for checking release integrity. It is distributed under the GNU General Public License version 3. The default captive portal uses a self-signed certificate; the FAQ recommends other security tools for bypassing HSTS or HTTPS. Bug reports and improvement proposals are directed to GitHub, with the FAQ as a first reference.

Who it suits
