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.

DESCRIPTION
       fluxion is a security auditing and social-engineering research tool.  It
       is a remake of linset by vk496 with (hopefully) less bugs and more func-

       get access point by means of a social engineering (phising) 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.
