Fern Wifi Cracker is a Python/Qt GUI application for wireless security auditing that can crack and recover WEP, WPA/WPA2, and WPS keys. It also performs network-based attacks such as MITM, session hijacking, and bruteforce attacks on wireless or ethernet networks.

Use cases

• crack wep keys on my own wireless network
• recover wpa/wpa2 passwords with a dictionary attack
• run wps attacks against an access point
• audit the security of my wifi network
• perform mitm attacks on a local network
• bruteforce http, telnet, or ftp login forms
• track the geolocation of an access point by mac address

When to choose

• you want a GUI-driven wifi security auditing tool on Linux
• you need to test WEP/WPA/WPS key strength on networks you own
• you want bundled network attack features like MITM and bruteforce alongside wifi cracking

When to avoid

• you need a scriptable or headless wifi auditing tool
• you are not running Linux with the required dependencies like aircrack-ng and reaver
• you want an actively developed project with a clear license
