What is Reddit's opinion of Wifite?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Do what Snowden did.

Use Wifite2 and Kali linux and drive around cracking as many wifi APs you can, and get credentials.

Once you have them, use a yagi to communicate at a distance with cracked AP. If you want to use a VPN in a country that is in opposition to where you are, go ahead.

Still, Tor is probably right out due to many providers RBL'ing Tor.

You're completely right.

I recently refactored Wifite into a much-easier-to-use (and maintain) version, but haven't gotten any testers (due to lack of interest or availability): https://github.com/derv82/wifite2/

My intent is to replace the existing "5000 lines of python" with this project which is much easier to debug, troubleshoot, test, and maintain.

The new version includes support for PixieDust and the latest aircrack suite, but it's probably also missing some features from the original (ugly) version.

If you want to test it out, just clone it and submit some issues or pull requests.

Try wifite2 https://github.com/derv82/wifite2

Due to some weaknesses in certain protocols it can even find very strong passwords for you. If not, you'll get some files that you can upload to hash cracking sites that will do the work for you.

Having said that, the router password is not the same thing as the network password.

Keep googling or I should say ducking and you'll get there. Most questions on this sub are nothing but the result of laziness from searching it on internet and learning from it on our own.

Btw you'll get the installation as well as how to run it steps on the github page itself:

For some beginner tips, these are the tools I use:

Wifite2 for pmkid, WPS attacks, and WPA2-PSK attacks: https://github.com/derv82/wifite2

Evil Twin attack (WPA2-Ent): https://github.com/s0lst1c3/eaphammer

Well, what Snowden said he did in his book was the following:

1. drive around and crack WPA2 or WEP wifi in a residential neighborhood ( wifite2 is good at this )
2. use Tails and Tor with that site only one time. Don't reuse the same wifi

Not saying that anyone should do illegal behaviors. But this was what was written. And given how some people are really nutters about security, this might come in handy. Of course, instead of cracking wifi, you can look for a free wifi with a coffee shop or something, and use a yagi or cantenna for distance usage.

Try an automated approach, Wifite 2 is easy to use.

Everything you need to get started is in the .readme

If this fails to enable monitor mode, I suspect you have a driver issue.
