# Wifade
**An automated bash script for Wi-Fi password brute-forcing, designed to seamlessly unlock network secrets across linux and macOS**
[](https://github.com/anonfaded/wifade/releases/)
---
## 📱 Screenshot
## ⬇️ Download
Download the linux and macOS scripts from the [releases page](https://github.com/anonfaded/wifade/releases/tag/v1.0).
## Features
- Automated password testing on multiple SSIDs.
- Simple configuration of target SSIDs and passwords.
- (Future versions may include password dictionary support.)
## How It Works
The script systematically attempts to connect to Wi-Fi networks using a list of passwords. For Linux, it employs the escape key to dismiss any authentication dialogs, ensuring uninterrupted operation.
## Getting Started
### Prerequisites
- A Linux or macOS system with bash support.
- Necessary network permissions for ethical testing.
Before using Wifade, ensure you have the necessary package installed to enable the escape key functionality for dismissing authentication dialogs on Linux:
- Install xdotool for simulating key presses:
```bash
sudo apt-get install xdotool
```
After installing xdotool, follow the installation instructions below for Wifade to set up the script on your system.
### Installation
Clone the repository:
```
git clone https://github.com/anonfaded/wifade.git
```
Navigate to the WiFade directory:
```
cd wifade
```
Make the script executable:
```bash
chmod +x linux-script.sh
```
### Usage
Run the script from your terminal:
1. For linux version of script:
```bash
./linux-script.sh
```
2. For macOS version of script:
```bash
./macOS-script.sh
```
### Configuration
Add the SSIDs you want to test in the `ssid.txt` file:
```bash
nano ssid.txt
Anonymous
```
Specify the password file with the `-w` switch:
```bash
./linux-script.sh -s ssid.txt -w /path/to/file.txt
```
If no password file is provided, the script will use the default `passwords.txt` file.
## Script Execution
Once initiated, the script begins its operation. Simply observe the terminal output; if the correct password is discovered, it will be highlighted in color alongside a success message.
## Contributions
Contributions are welcome! If you're interested in improving **Wifade** or adding new features, feel free to fork the repository, make your changes, and submit a pull request.
## Issues and macOS Testing
If you encounter any issues while using this script, especially with macOS, as it has not been extensively tested on this platform, please don't hesitate to open an issue on GitHub. When reporting, kindly include detailed information about the problem and the context in which it occurs to help us make improvements. Your feedback and contributions are highly appreciated as they help enhance the tool's reliability and functionality across different environments.
