## What it is
WEF is a Wi-Fi Exploitation Framework written in Bash that automates a wide range of wireless attacks against WPA/WPA2/WPA3, WPS, and WEP networks. It provides an interactive interface for penetration testers to perform deauthentication, Pixie Dust, handshake capture, and Evil Twin attacks on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz networks.

## Use cases
- capture WPA/WPA2 handshakes from nearby networks
- run a Pixie Dust attack against a WPS-enabled router
- set up an Evil Twin rogue access point
- crack WEP keys with ARP replay attacks
- deauthenticate clients to test network resilience
- audit Wi-Fi security during a penetration test
- automatically pick the best attack against an access point

## When to choose
- you need a single interactive tool covering many Wi-Fi attack types
- you work on Kali Linux or a similar pentesting distro with the required wireless tools installed
- you want automated attack selection based on the target AP's features

## When to avoid
- you need a professional, audit-grade wireless security assessment tool
- you don't have a monitor-mode-capable wireless adapter
- you want to test non-Wi-Fi network security
