The script appears to also operate with Ubuntu 11/10, Debian 6, and Fedora 16.\n\nWifite must be run as __root__. This is required by the suite of programs it uses. Running downloaded scripts as root is a bad idea. I recommend using the Kali Linux bootable Live CD, a bootable USB stick (for persistent), or a virtual machine. Note that Virtual Machines cannot directly access hardware so a wireless USB dongle would be required.\n\nWifite assumes that you have a wireless card and the appropriate drivers that are patched for injection and promiscuous/monitor mode.\n\n\nExecution\n---------\n\nTo download and execute wifite, run the commands below:\n\n`wget https://raw.github.com/derv82/wifite/master/wifite.py`  \n`chmod +x wifite.py`  \n`./wifite.py`  \n\n\nRequired Programs\n-----------------\n\nPlease see [the installation guide](https://github.com/derv82/wifite/wiki/Installation) on the wiki for help installing any of the tools below.\n\n* [__Python 2.7.x__](http://python.org/getit/). Wifite is a Python script and requires Python to run.\n\n* [__aircrack-ng suite__](http://aircrack-ng.org/).\n  This is absolutely required.  The specific programs used in the suite are: \n    * airmon-ng, \n    * airodump-ng, \n    * aireplay-ng, \n    * packetforge-ng, and\n    * aircrack-ng.\n\n* Standard linux programs.\n  * iwconfig, ifconfig, which, iw\n\nSuggested Programs\n------------------\n\n_`*` indicates program is not included in [Backtrack 5 R1](http://www.backtrack-linux.org/)_\n\n* `*`[__reaver__](https://github.com/t6x/reaver-wps-fork-t6x), a Wifi-Protected Setup (WPS) attack tool.  Reaver includes a scanner \"walsh\" (or \"wash\") for detecting WPS-enabled access points. Wifite uses Reaver to scan for and attack WPS-enabled routers.\n\n* `*`[__pyrit__](https://github.com/JPaulMora/Pyrit), a GPU cracker for WPA PSK keys. Wifite uses pyrit (if found) to detect handshakes. In the future, Wifite may include an option to crack WPA handshakes via pyrit.\n\n* __tshark__. Comes bundled with [Wireshark](http://www.wireshark.org/), packet sniffing software.\n\n* [__cowpatty__](http://www.willhackforsushi.com/Cowpatty.html), a WPA PSK key cracker. Wifite uses cowpatty (if found) to detect handshakes.\n\n\nLicensing\n---------\n\nWifite is licensed under the GNU General Public License version 2 (GNU GPL v2).\n\n(C) 2010-2012 Derv Merkler\n","funding_links":[],"categories":["Python","Uncategorized","Tools","2.
