Fluxion is a security auditing and social-engineering research tool that retrieves WPA/WPA2 keys via phishing attacks using rogue access points and captive portals. It is a shell-based remake of linset with enhanced functionality, designed for Linux distributions like Kali.

Use cases

• capture WPA/WPA2 handshakes from a target access point
• run an evil twin attack with a fake captive portal
• audit wireless network security through social engineering
• phish Wi-Fi passwords for penetration testing
• deauthenticate clients and lure them to a rogue AP
• verify captured passwords against a handshake file

When to choose

• you need an automated Wi-Fi phishing/evil-twin attack framework on Linux
• you are doing authorized wireless security audits or security training on Kali
• you want handshake capture plus captive portal credential verification in one tool

When to avoid

• you need passive monitoring or WPA cracking without social engineering (use aircrack-ng or hashcat)
• your target environment forbids active attacks or you lack authorization
• you need a GUI-driven or Windows-native Wi-Fi auditing tool
