API Reference: Wireless Network Penetration Testing Agent

Overview

Tests WiFi security: scans access points via beacon capture, detects rogue APs and evil twins, identifies weak encryption, captures WPA2 handshakes, and analyzes client probe requests. For authorized testing only.

Dependencies

Package Version Purpose
scapy >=2.5 Beacon/probe capture, deauth frames
aircrack-ng >=1.7 Handshake capture and cracking (subprocess)

CLI Usage

# Enable monitor mode first
sudo airmon-ng start wlan0

# Run wireless pentest
python agent.py --interface wlan0mon --duration 60 \
  --known-ssids "CorpWiFi" "GuestWiFi" \
  --known-bssids "AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF" --output report.json

Key Functions

scan_access_points(interface, duration)

Captures Dot11Beacon frames to discover APs with SSID, BSSID, channel, and crypto type.

detect_rogue_aps(discovered_aps, known_ssids, known_bssids)

Compares discovered APs against known infrastructure to detect evil twin attacks.

detect_weak_encryption(access_points)

Flags open networks, WEP, and WPA1-only configurations as weak.

capture_handshake(interface, target_bssid, channel, output_file, duration)

Uses airodump-ng to capture the WPA2 4-way handshake.

send_deauth(interface, target_bssid, client_mac, count)

Sends deauthentication frames via Scapy to force client reconnection.

crack_handshake(cap_file, wordlist)

Attempts dictionary attack on captured handshake using aircrack-ng.

detect_client_probes(interface, duration)

Captures Dot11ProbeReq frames to identify SSIDs clients are seeking.

check_wps_enabled(interface, target_bssid)

Uses wash to detect WPS-enabled access points vulnerable to Reaver attacks.
