## What it is
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

## Facets
