Wifi security test tool
When assessing Wi-Fi security, there are several tools available that can help you test the security of your wireless network. Here’s a list of some popular Wi-Fi security testing tools:
1. **Kali Linux**: This is a comprehensive penetration testing platform that includes a variety of tools for testing Wi-Fi security, such as:
- **Aircrack-ng**: A suite of tools for assessing Wi-Fi network security, which includes features for monitoring, attacking, and cracking WEP and WPA/WPA2 encryption keys.
- **Wireshark**: A network protocol analyzer that can capture and analyze packet data over Wi-Fi.
2. **Reaver**: This tool allows you to perform brute-force attacks against WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) to retrieve the WPA/WPA2 passphrase.
3. **Wifite**: An automated tool for wireless network auditing that simplifies the process of attacking WEP/WPA/WPA2 networks.
4. **Fern WiFi Cracker**: A Wireless security auditing tool that helps you attack WEP and WPA/WPA2 networks.
5. **NetSpot**: A Wi-Fi analysis tool that helps you visualize the network layout, detect dead zones, and optimize Wi-Fi coverage.
6. **InSSIDer**: This tool helps you analyze Wi-Fi networks in your area, providing information on signal strength, channels, and more.
7. **Airgeddon**: A multi-use bash script for Linux, focused on auditing and testing wireless networks that combines a variety of attacks.
8. **Ophcrack**: While primarily a password recovery tool, it can be used for cracking Wi-Fi password security when combined with other testing frameworks.
9. **WiFi Analyzer**: A tool mainly for Android that provides information about nearby Wi-Fi networks such as channel usage, signal strength, and interference.
10. **EAPOL Packet Capture Tools**: Tools that allow capturing EAPOL packets for further analysis and testing of WPA/WPA2 security.
### Important Considerations:
- **Legal and Ethical Usage**: Ensure you have explicit authorization to test any network to avoid legal issues. Unauthorized access to networks is illegal and unethical.
- **Network Backup**: Always back up your data and configurations before conducting security tests.
- **Impact on Network**: Be aware that testing methods, especially brute-force attacks, can potentially disrupt the network service.
Use these tools responsibly to improve your Wi-Fi security posture.
