## What it is
SniffAir is an open-source wireless security framework for parsing passively collected wireless traffic and launching wireless attacks. It stores pcap data in a SQL backend, supports custom queries for analysis, and includes attack modules for wireless penetration testing.

## Use cases
- parse large pcap files from wireless captures
- analyze wifi traffic for security flaws
- run sophisticated wireless attacks
- query wireless capture data for pentest reports
- manage multiple wireless pcap datasets
- perform wireless penetration tests

## When to choose
- you need to analyze large or multiple wireless pcap files
- you want prebuilt and custom SQL queries over wireless capture data
- you need a framework combining wireless analysis with attack modules
- you work on Kali Linux doing wireless pentests

## When to avoid
- you need actively maintained software (last release 2020, Python 2.7)
- you need Windows or macOS support
- you only need simple wifi scanning rather than pentest analysis
- you require Python 3 compatibility out of the box

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: maintenance
- function: security, penetration-testing, parser, database
- domain: security, penetration-testing, networking
- platform: python, cli
- tags: wireless, wifi, pcap, wireless-attacks, kismet, linux
