Fluxion – Remake Of Linset By VK496 With Less Bugs & Enhanced Functionality

Fluxion is the future of MITM WPA attacks. Fluxion is a security auditing and social-engineering research tool. It is a remake of linset by vk496 with (hopefully) less bugs and more functionality. The script attempts to retrieve the WPA/WPA2 key from a target access point by means of a social engineering (phishing) attack. It’s compatible with the latest release of Kali (rolling). Fluxion’s attacks’ setup is mostly manual, but experimental auto-mode handles some of the attacks’ setup parameters. Read the FAQ before requesting issues.

Fluxion Installation

Download the latest revision

git clone --recursive git@github.com:FluxionNetwork/fluxion.git 

Switch to tool’s directory

cd fluxion 

Run fluxion (missing dependencies will be auto-installed)

./fluxion.sh

Fluxion is also available in arch

cd bin/arch
makepkg

or using the blackarch repo

pacman -S fluxion

How it works

  • Scan for a target wireless network.
  • Launch the Handshake Snooper attack.
  • Capture a handshake (necessary for password verification).
  • Launch Captive Portal attack.
  • Spawns a rogue (fake) AP, imitating the original access point.
  • Spawns a DNS server, redirecting all requests to the attacker’s host running the captive portal.
  • Spawns a web server, serving the captive portal which prompts users for their WPA/WPA2 key.
  • Spawns a jammer, deauthenticating all clients from original AP and lureing them to the rogue AP.
  • All authentication attempts at the captive portal are checked against the handshake file captured earlier.
  • The attack will automatically terminate once a correct key has been submitted.
  • The key will be logged and clients will be allowed to reconnect to the target access point.

Disclaimer

  • The usage of Fluxion for attacking infrastructures without prior mutual consent could be considered an illegal activity, and is highly discouraged by its authors/developers. It is the end user’s responsibility to obey all applicable local, state and federal laws. Authors assume no liability and are not responsible for any misuse or damage caused by this program.

Note : Fluxion DOES NOT WORK on Linux Subsystem For Windows 10, because the subsystem doesn’t allow access to network interfaces. Any Issue regarding the same would be Closed Immediately
