Install Wifite Ubuntu 10.10

introduction

designed for Backtrack4 RC1 distribution of Ubuntu. Linux only; no windows or osx support.

purpose

to attack multiple WEP and WPA encrypted networks at the same time. this tool is customizable to be automated with only a few arguments. wifite can be trusted to run without supervision. 

features

• this project is available in French: all thanks goto Matt² for his excellent translation!
• sorts targets by power (in dB); cracks closest access points first
• automatically deauths clients of hidden networks to decloak SSIDs
• numerous filters to specify exactly what to attack (wep/wpa/both, above certain signal strengths, channels, etc)
• customizable settings (timeouts, packets/sec, channel, change mac address, ignore fake-auth, etc)
• "anonymous" feature; changes MAC to a random address before attacking, then changes back when attacks are complete
• all WPA handshakes are backed up to wifite.py's current directory
• smart WPA deauthentication -- cycles between all clients and broadcast deauths
• stop any attack with Ctrl+C -- options: continue, move onto next target, skip to cracking, or exit
• switching WEP attack methods does not reset IVs
• intel 4965 chipset fake-authentication support; uses wpa_supplicant workaround
• SKA support (untested)
• displays session summary at exit; shows any cracked keys
• all passwords saved to log.txt
• built-in updater: ./wifite.py -upgrade

requirements

• linux operating system (confirmed working on Ubuntu 8.10 (BT4R1), Ubuntu 10.04.1)
• tested working with python 2.4.5 and python 2.5.2; might be compatible with other versions,
• wireless drivers patched for monitor mode and injection: backtrack4 has many pre-patched drivers,
• aircrack-ng (v1.1) suite: available via apt: apt-get install aircrack-ng or by clicking here,
• xterm, python-tk module: required for GUI, available via apt: apt-get install python-tk
• macchanger: also available via apt: apt-get install macchanger
• pyrit: not required, optionally strips wpa handshake from .cap files
