During a wireless engagement, you need one Linux-based framework that can place an adapter in monitor mode, launch deauth and DoS attacks, capture both WPA 4-way handshakes and PMKID hashes, spin up an evil-twin access point with a captive portal, and automatically pass any captured credentials to hash-cracking tools such as hashcat or John. Which open-source wireless security tool best fits all of these requirements?
Airgeddon is a comprehensive Bash framework that chains together aircrack-ng, hostapd, dnsmasq, hashcat, John the Ripper, Reaver, and other utilities. From a single menu it can enable monitor mode, perform deauthentication floods, capture WPA/WPA2 handshakes and PMKID hashes, build evil-twin or captive-portal attacks, and then invoke external crackers for offline password recovery.
Wifite automates handshake and PMKID collection but lacks built-in captive-portal phishing. Reaver is focused on WPS PIN brute-forcing only. Wifiphisher specialises in evil-twin phishing but does not natively handle PMKID collection or automated hash-cracking integration. Therefore, Airgeddon is the only option that satisfies every element in the scenario.
