fluxion
Security auditing and social-engineering research tool
Fluxion is a security auditing and social-engineering research tool. It is a
remake of linset by vk496 with (hopefully) fewer bugs and more functionality.
The script attempts to retrieve the WPA/WPA2 key from a target access point by
means of a social engineering (phishing) attack. It’s compatible with the
latest release of Kali (rolling). Fluxion’s attacks’ setup is mostly manual,
but experimental auto-mode handles some of the attacks’ setup parameters. Read
the FAQ before requesting issues.
