Wifi Forge provides a safe and legal environment for learning WiFi hacking. Based on the open source Mininet-Wifi, this project automatically sets up the networks and tools needed to run a variety of WiFi exploitation labs, removing the need for the overhead and hardware normally required to perform these attacks.
- The installation script will only run on Ubuntu, Parrot, or Kali.
- It is suggested to run Wifi Forge on Ubuntu version 24.04 or the lastest version of Kali.
- The Wifi Forge installation script may disrupt normal operating system use, it is suggested to use a fresh install, virtual machine, or build using the provided dockerfile (see Set-Up Guide/Docker)
Wifi-Forge should work on any linux operating system using the docker image. The following Operating Systems have been tested and are confirmed to work.
- Kali Linux
- Parrot OS
- Ubuntu
Intializing graphical interfaces as root between the docker image and host machine is restricted on most modern distributions. Run the following command to provide the appropriate permissions -
xhost si:localuser:rootIf other issues are encountered, start a thread in the issues section of the repo.
Once in a while, the dockerfile will fail before installing packages. Though unconfirmed, this error usually occurs after running Wifi-forge (either on baremetal or within a docker). Rebooting and running the Dockerfile again typically solves the issue.
