## What it is
A Python program that creates a fake wireless access point and performs man-in-the-middle data sniffing using tools like SSLstrip2, mitmproxy, Driftnet, and TShark. It is designed for Kali Linux and Raspberry Pi (Raspbian) and requires root privileges and compatible wireless hardware.

## Use cases
- set up a fake wifi access point for penetration testing
- sniff traffic from clients connected to a rogue AP
- capture images and pcaps from network traffic
- perform SSL stripping and HSTS bypass in a lab
- spoof DNS on a test network
- run a man-in-the-middle proxy on Kali Linux

## When to choose
- you need a quick rogue AP setup for authorized wifi security assessments on Kali Linux
- you want an educational MITM lab environment on a Raspberry Pi
- you prefer an all-in-one script that wires up mitmproxy, SSLstrip2, Driftnet, and TShark

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained or supported tool - the project is explicitly unmaintained
- you are on modern Linux distros or hardware where the dependencies may no longer work
- you lack authorization to test the target network - this is illegal without consent
