EDITOR'S DEEP TAKE

An automated auditing tool for wireless networks, wrapping aircrack-ng, hashcat and reaver behind one command that tests networks for weak configurations and known protocol flaws. The legitimate use is auditing your own network or one you have written permission to test, and it is standard in security coursework for exactly that. Running it against a network you do not own is a criminal offence in India under the IT Act and in most jurisdictions, and there is no ambiguity in that. Python, GPL-2.0. Practical tradeoff: it needs a wireless adapter supporting monitor mode and packet injection, so the built-in card on most laptops will not work. Modern WPA3 networks correctly resist most of what it tests.

Use this if

You are auditing your own wireless network, or testing under written authorisation, and have a monitor-mode adapter.

Skip if

You do not own or have written permission to test the network — that use is illegal, not a grey area.
