Fluxion
A social engineering wireless auditing tool.
Overview
Fluxion is a security auditing and social engineering tool. It automates the process of creating a fake Wi-Fi network (Evil Twin), jamming the target network to force users to disconnect, and then launching a captive portal to capture the WPA/WPA2 passphrase. It is known for its reliability and the variety of captive portal templates it offers, making the social engineering attack more convincing.
✨ Key Features
- Automated Evil Twin and captive portal setup
- Deauthentication attacks to jam target network
- Multiple captive portal templates
- Handshake snooping and validation
- Does not require extensive command-line knowledge
🎯 Key Differentiators
- Focus on a streamlined, reliable social engineering workflow
- Effective combination of jamming and captive portal attacks
- Menu-driven interface simplifies the attack process
Unique Value: Provides a highly effective, automated script for capturing Wi-Fi credentials through a proven social engineering methodology.
🎯 Use Cases (3)
✅ Best For
- Capturing a WPA2 key by setting up a fake AP that presents a 'router login' captive portal.
