## What it is
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
