Wifiphisher by a Greek developer for penetration testing

Wifiphisher: A Greek security programmer has released a tool that can make password access from a WiFi network easier. How; Let's look at the tool from scratch.

The Wifiphisher is a security tool that quickly mounts automated phishing attacks against WPA networks in order to obtain the secret passphrase. This is an attack tool social engineering which unlike other methods does not involve any brute forcing. It is an easy way to obtain WPA passwords.

The Wifiphisher works with Kali Linux and is distributed under MIT license.

From the victim's side, the attack is in three phases:

• The victim stops connecting to his or her access point. Wifiphisher accesses all devices connected to a wifi with the Mission deauth packets to the client from the access point, from the access point to the client, and to the broadcast address.
• The victim is associated with a malicious access point. Wifiphisher sniffs the router's login web page and copies the target's access point settings. It then creates a malicious wireless access point modeled after the target's page. It also sets up a NAT/DHCP server and forwards the correct ports. Consequently, due to the interference, clients will start connecting to the malicious access point. After this phase, the victim is MiTMed (man-in-the-middle).
• The victim is led to a realistic router settings page. wifiphisher uses a minimal web server that responds to HTTP and HTTPS requests. Once the victim requests a web page, the wifiphisher will respond with a realistic fake page asking for WPA password confirmation due to a router firmware upgrade.

The tool developer is the George Hatzisofroniou and is intended for penetration testing purposes.
