Linux wireless assessments

airgeddon turns complex Wi-Fi auditing flows into a faster operational workflow.

Built around Bash and focused on Linux environments, airgeddon combines interface handling, multiband support for 2.4GHz, 5GHz and 6 GHz, handshake and PMKID capture, Evil Twin attacks, WPS tooling, enterprise attack modes, WPA3 support, plugins, Docker, and headless operation.

master Source

12.0

  • Fixed enterprise certificate capture results persisting when switching targets.
  • Added WiFi standard tag to the selected interface label and to the interface selection menu.
  • Enabled mouse support in tmux sessions (Thank you to "strasharo").
  • Added 6Ghz partial support (some scans, some attacks, capable adapter detection, option toggle, validations, etc.).
  • Fixed target list sorting by power so values below 10% no longer appear after stronger networks.
  • Fixed alignment in network selection lists (including WPS) when 3-digit indices are shown.
  • Fixed multi-instance Evil Twin interference caused by airmon-ng check kill/NetworkManager handling.
  • Hardened Evil Twin ESSID stripping UTF-8 handling (ZWSP generation/output).

Why it matters

A broader audit surface than a single-purpose Wi-Fi script.

The upstream feature list covers interface mode switching, handshake and PMKID capture, WPA3 paths, Evil Twin scenarios, WPS automation, enterprise credential capture, Docker support, tmux for headless systems, and a plugin system that keeps extending the tool.

Operational map

Key attack and analysis paths in one place.

Official screenshots

Real interface views from the airgeddon wiki.

The gallery uses official images from the upstream project, including the intro screen, the main menu, and the captive portal attack workflow.

Platform coverage

Linux-focused, broad distro compatibility, and remote-friendly operation.

The official compatibility and features pages highlight support across many Linux distributions, Wayland support, xRDP and remote X workflows, plus tmux for headless environments.

Use it only on networks and infrastructure you own or are explicitly authorized to assess.

Tooling

Docker images, auto-updates, plugin hooks, optional Bettercap, BeEF, hashcat, and more.

Workflow safety

Controlled exit routines, cleanup tasks, and restore handling for iptables and nftables changes.

Display modes

Dynamic screen sizing, graphical workflows, and headless operation through tmux where needed.

Language support

Multilanguage support with OS language autodetection and per-menu usage hints.

Typical flow

From interface selection to post-capture analysis.

Get started

Use the upstream docs, not guesswork.

Installation, requirements, usage, Docker workflows, compatibility notes, and plugins are documented in the official wiki.

Certification

CWP training for professional wireless assessments.

The airgeddon wiki recommends the Certified WifiChallenge Professional certification for people who want to learn how to perform professional wireless network assessments.

The course is 100% online, includes practical lab work, and the wiki notes that airgeddon's main author passed the exam and collaborates with the certification content.

airgeddon Discord Server includes a dedicated #cwp channel for certification and lab topics. Exam-related discussion is not allowed.

Practical lab

Hands-on exercises help turn wireless assessment concepts into repeatable practice.

Lifetime access

Lifetime access after purchase and frequently updated content.

Guided learning

Students are guided step by step through each lab exercise in the online course.

Community channel

airgeddon Discord Server has a dedicated channel for CWP and lab discussion.

Sponsorship

Support airgeddon and unlock private plugin access.

Sponsorship helps keep airgeddon maintained, plugins updated, the WPS pin database refreshed, wiki documentation current, and community moderation active.

Private access

HTTPS Captive Portal Plugin

The official plugin modifies the captive portal configuration to serve it over HTTPS with a valid and trusted certificate.

Monthly sponsors on the $10 tier or higher get access to the private HTTPS Captive Portal Plugin, which serves the Evil Twin captive portal over HTTPS using a valid certificate.

The goal is to have 15 monthly sponsors. Let’s keep growing! Let’s make it happen together. Thank you! 🙌
