An automated bash script for Wi-Fi password brute-forcing, designed to seamlessly unlock network secrets across linux and macOS
Download the linux and macOS scripts from the releases page.
- Automated password testing on multiple SSIDs.
- Simple configuration of target SSIDs and passwords.
- (Future versions may include password dictionary support.)
The script systematically attempts to connect to Wi-Fi networks using a list of passwords. For Linux, it employs the escape key to dismiss any authentication dialogs, ensuring uninterrupted operation.
- A Linux or macOS system with bash support.
- Necessary network permissions for ethical testing.
Before using Wifade, ensure you have the necessary package installed to enable the escape key functionality for dismissing authentication dialogs on Linux:
- Install xdotool for simulating key presses:
sudo apt-get install xdotoolAfter installing xdotool, follow the installation instructions below for Wifade to set up the script on your system.
Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/anonfaded/wifade.git
Navigate to the WiFade directory:
cd wifade
Make the script executable:
chmod +x linux-script.shRun the script from your terminal:
- For linux version of script:
./linux-script.sh- For macOS version of script:
./macOS-script.shAdd the SSIDs you want to test in the ssid.txt file:
nano ssid.txt
AnonymousSpecify the password file with the -w switch:
./linux-script.sh -s ssid.txt -w /path/to/file.txtIf no password file is provided, the script will use the default passwords.txt file.
Once initiated, the script begins its operation. Simply observe the terminal output; if the correct password is discovered, it will be highlighted in color alongside a success message.
