Fluxion is the future of MITM WPA attacks

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.

:book: How it works

• Scan for a target wireless network.

• Launch the Handshake Snooper attack.

• Capture a handshake (necessary for password verification).

• Launch Captive Portal attack.

• Spawns a rogue (fake) AP, imitating the original access point.

• Spawns a DNS server, redirecting all requests to the attacker's host running the captive portal.

• Spawns a web server, serving the captive portal which prompts users for their WPA/WPA2 key.

• Spawns a jammer, deauthenticating all clients from original AP and luring them to the rogue AP.

• All authentication attempts at the captive portal are checked against the handshake file captured earlier.

• The attack will automatically terminate once a correct key has been submitted.

• The key will be logged and clients will be allowed to reconnect to the target access point.

• For a guide to the Captive Portal attack, read the Captive Portal attack guide

:heavy_exclamation_mark: Requirements

A Linux-based operating system. We recommend Kali Linux 2025.4. An external wifi card is recommended.
