WiFiHack is a straightforward brute-force tool designed to help users attempt to find WiFi passwords by leveraging the PyWiFi library in Python. Using a password list, WiFiHack tries each password systematically to connect to the specified WiFi network and gain access if the correct password is found.
Disclaimer: This tool is intended solely for educational purposes on personal WiFi networks. Do not use this tool on networks you do not have permission to access.
- WPA2PSK Authentication: Supports attempts to connect to networks secured with WPA2.
- Multithreaded Brute-Force: Utilizes
ThreadPoolExecutorfor efficient brute-force attempts. - Windows Compatibility: Designed to run on Windows PowerShell; it is not compatible with WSL.
- Interactive UI: Uses the
richlibrary for a visually appealing, modern interface.
- Python >= 3.9
- Libraries:
pywifiandrich
- Prepare Network Name and Password List Make sure you have the SSID of the target WiFi network and a text file containing a list of potential passwords.
- Run the Program
Open Windows PowerShell, navigate to the project folder, and run:
python Run.py
- Input Required Data When prompted, enter the WiFi network name (SSID) and the path to your password list file.
- Monitor the Process
The brute-force process will start, displaying each attempt. You can stop the process at any time by pressing
CTRL + Z.
- Open the password file and verify it contains valid passwords, one per line. Remove any blank lines or entries that are too short (under five characters).
- A slow brute-force process may be due to a large password list or limited system resources. Try a smaller, optimized password list and ensure your system can handle multithreading.
- This usually means that the password list provided does not contain the correct password. Try using a more comprehensive or updated password list.
- Ensure that the password file is in the same folder as the program and that the file path is correct. Also, check that the file has read permissions.
- WiFiHack requires direct hardware access, which is limited in WSL. To resolve this, run the tool in Windows PowerShell or Command Prompt on Windows.
- If the program is interrupted mid-attempt, success and failure counts may be inaccurate. Restart the program and let it run uninterrupted for accurate results.
