A security testing tool that tests Wi-Fi clients and access points for the FragAttacks fragmentation and aggregation vulnerabilities affecting all protected Wi-Fi networks. It is the official research tool accompanying the USENIX Security 2021 paper by Mathy Vanhoef.

Use cases

• test wifi access points for fragattacks vulnerabilities
• check if wifi clients are vulnerable to fragmentation attacks
• audit wpa2 and wpa3 network security
• reproduce fragattacks research findings
• verify wifi device security after firmware patches
• capture example pcaps of wifi vulnerabilities

When to choose

• you need to test Wi-Fi devices for the CVE-2020-24588 and related FragAttacks vulnerabilities
• you are a security researcher auditing wireless networks
• you have a compatible supported network card for frame injection

When to avoid

• you need a general-purpose Wi-Fi penetration testing suite beyond FragAttacks
• your wireless card is not among the supported ones
• you want a passive vulnerability scanner without frame injection
