Description

Authorized wireless audits can test credential-capture and access-point impersonation scenarios.

It is intended for controlled penetration tests, training labs, and defensive validation. The tool can trick clients, collect authentication material, and disrupt networks, so it should only be used with explicit permission and strong isolation.
