AutoWIFI

Wireless penetration testing framework.
Automates the full attack chain - recon through exploitation - with a clean terminal interface.

Features

• Multi-vector attacks - WEP (ARP replay, fragmentation, chopchop), WPA/WPA2 (handshake capture, PMKID), WPS (pixie dust, PIN brute force)
• Smart target selection - Auto-recommends attack vectors based on target encryption and configuration
• Live scanning - Real-time network discovery with signal strength visualization and client tracking
• Multiple cracking backends - aircrack-ng, hashcat (GPU), John the Ripper
• Session management - Save, restore, and resume interrupted operations
• Report generation - Export findings in HTML, JSON, and text formats
• Interface management - Automatic monitor mode, MAC randomization, channel control
• Handshake verification - Multi-method validation of captured handshakes
• Wordlist discovery - Auto-detects installed wordlists (rockyou, seclists, etc.)

Requirements

• Linux with a wireless adapter that supports monitor mode
• Python 3.9+
• aircrack-ng suite (required)
• Optional: hashcat, reaver, bully, hcxdumptool, mdk4, macchanger

Installation

From PyPI (recommended)

pip install autowifi

Install system dependencies

The framework wraps the aircrack-ng suite and related tools. Install them for your distro:

Debian / Ubuntu / Kali:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y aircrack-ng reaver bully hcxdumptool hcxtools hashcat macchanger mdk4 tshark

Arch Linux:

sudo pacman -S aircrack-ng reaver hashcat hcxdumptool hcxtools macchanger wireshark-cli

Fedora:

sudo dnf install aircrack-ng reaver hashcat hcxdumptool hcxtools macchanger wireshark-cli

Only aircrack-ng is strictly required. The rest unlock additional attack vectors (WPS, PMKID, GPU cracking, etc.).

From source

git clone https://github.com/momenbasel/AutoWIFI.git
cd AutoWIFI
pip install .

Development

git clone https://github.com/momenbasel/AutoWIFI.git
cd AutoWIFI
pip install -e .

Verify installation

sudo autowifi --version

MCP Server (AI Agent Integration)

AutoWIFI includes an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server, making all wireless pentesting tools available to AI coding assistants like Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, and Cursor.

Install with MCP support

pip install autowifi[mcp]

Configure for Claude Code

Add to ~/.claude/settings.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "autowifi": {
      "command": "autowifi-mcp"
    }
  }
}

Configure for Cursor

Add to .cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "autowifi": {
      "command": "autowifi-mcp"
    }
  }
}

Available MCP tools

Tool	Description
list_interfaces	List wireless interfaces with mode/driver/chipset
enable_monitor	Enable monitor mode on an interface
disable_monitor	Restore interface to managed mode
scan_networks	Discover WiFi networks with encryption, signal, WPS, clients
get_recommended_attacks	Get attack vectors for a target based on encryption
capture_handshake	Capture WPA/WPA2 4-way handshake
capture_pmkid	Capture PMKID hash (clientless)
wps_pixie_dust	Run WPS Pixie Dust offline attack
deauth	Send deauthentication frames
crack_handshake	Crack handshake/PMKID with aircrack/hashcat/john
verify_handshake	Validate a capture file
find_wordlists	Discover installed wordlists
check_dependencies	Check installed tools

Now your AI agent can run wireless pentests autonomously.

Usage

Interactive mode

sudo autowifi

Launches the full TUI with menu-driven workflow - scan, select target, attack, crack.

CLI mode

Scan networks:

sudo autowifi scan -i wlan0mon -d 30

Capture WPA handshake:

sudo autowifi capture -i wlan0mon -b AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF -c 6 -t 120

Crack a capture file:

sudo autowifi crack handshake.cap -w /usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt

Use hashcat backend:

sudo autowifi crack handshake.cap -w rockyou.txt --backend hashcat

Attack Vectors

Attack	Encryption	Method
ARP Replay	WEP	IV collection via ARP request replay
Fragmentation	WEP	Keystream recovery through fragmented packets
ChopChop	WEP	KoreK chopchop keystream extraction
Handshake Capture	WPA/WPA2	Deauth + 4-way handshake capture
PMKID	WPA/WPA2	Clientless key extraction from first EAPOL frame
Pixie Dust	WPS	Offline WPS PIN recovery via Raghav Bisht / Dominique Bongard
PIN Brute Force	WPS	Online WPS PIN enumeration

Configuration

Settings are stored in ~/.autowifi/config.json. Edit through the interactive menu or directly:

{
  "interface": "wlan0",
  "scan_duration": 30,
  "deauth_count": 15,
  "handshake_timeout": 180,
  "default_wordlist": "/usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt",
  "crack_backend": "aircrack",
  "mac_randomize": false,
  "auto_crack": true
}
