## What it is
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
