bettercap is a network attack and reconnaissance framework, described as a Swiss Army knife for WiFi, BLE, HID hijacking, CAN-bus, and IPv4/IPv6 MITM attacks. This specific repository is the deprecated legacy (pre-2.0) version; development has moved to the bettercap/bettercap repository.
Use cases
- perform man-in-the-middle attacks on a network
- audit wifi networks for security testing
- spoof traffic and strip ssl/tls for pentesting
- sniff and intercept network traffic during a security audit
- reconnaissance of ipv4 and ipv6 networks
When to choose
- you specifically need the legacy pre-2.0 bettercap for compatibility with old scripts or tutorials
When to avoid
- you want an actively maintained tool - use the bettercap/bettercap repository instead
- you need support or bug fixes - this repo is deprecated and unsupported
- you are starting a new security project
