Wi-Fi Recon
This is your main dashboard for discovering and analyzing wireless networks.
- Network & Client Table: Displays all detected Access Points (APs) and connected client devices (stations). You can expand each AP to see its clients.
- Scanning: The device periodically scans for networks. You can also trigger a manual scan.
- Information: The table provides key details for each network, including its SSID, MAC address, security protocol, channel, and signal strength (RSSI).
- Target Selection: Clicking on a network or client in the table selects it as a target for other tools, such as Handshake Capture or Deauth Attacks.
Network Visualizations
At the top of the Recon page, two charts provide a high-level overview of the local wireless environment:
- Channel Distribution: A bar chart showing how many networks are operating on each Wi-Fi channel. This is useful for identifying crowded channels.
- Network Composition: A pie chart that shows the ratio of detected Access Points (APs) to client devices (Stations).
Handshake Capture
Once you have selected a target AP from the Wi-Fi Recon table, you can initiate a handshake capture.
- Start Capture: Begins the process of capturing WPA/WPA2 handshake packets for the selected network. The device will listen on the AP’s channel.
- Status: The UI displays the status of the capture and the number of handshakes collected.
- Deauth Burst: A button is available to send a quick burst of deauthentication packets to the target AP, which can help encourage clients to re-associate and produce a handshake.
- File Management: Captured handshakes are saved as
.pcapfiles on the SD card, which can be downloaded from the File Manager section for analysis with tools like Wireshark.
