besside-ng

Automated WiFi security auditing tool

TLDR

Auto-crack all WEP networks and log WPA handshakes

$ besside-ng [wlan0mon]

Target specific access point

$ besside-ng -b [AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF] [wlan0mon]

Lock to specific channel

$ besside-ng -c [6] [wlan0mon]

WPA handshakes only

$ besside-ng -W [wlan0mon]

Upload captured handshakes to a cracking server

$ besside-ng -s [wpa.darkircop.org] [wlan0mon]

Set flood rate

$ besside-ng -p [300] [wlan0mon]

besside-ng is an automated WiFi security auditing tool from the Aircrack-ng suite. It automatically cracks all WEP networks in range and captures WPA handshakes for later cracking.The tool requires a wireless interface in monitor mode. Captured WPA handshakes are saved to wpa.cap for use with aircrack-ng or online cracking services.

PARAMETERS

-b bssid

Target specific access point by MAC address

-c channel

Lock to specific channel (otherwise hops across channels)

-s server

Upload the capture file to a WPA cracking server (e.g. wpa.darkircop.org)

-p pps

Packets per second to send (flood rate)

-W

Crack only WPA networks (skip WEP)

-v

Verbose mode; repeat (-vv, -vvv) for more detail

-h

OUTPUT FILES

wpa.cap

Captured WPA handshakes, ready for aircrack-ng

wep.cap

Captured WEP traffic

besside.log

Log of cracked networks and handshake status

INSTALL

sudo apt install aircrack-ng

sudo dnf install aircrack-ng

sudo pacman -S aircrack-ng

sudo apk add aircrack-ng

sudo zypper install aircrack-ng

brew install aircrack-ng

nix profile install nixpkgs#aircrack-ng

CAVEATS

Requires wireless interface in monitor mode. Only use on networks you own or have explicit authorization to test. WPA cracking requires dictionary attack after handshake capture. Some access points may detect and block flooding attacks.
