WiFi-Pumpkin is a Python framework for auditing Wi-Fi security by creating rogue wireless access points and performing man-in-the-middle attacks. It bundles features like deauth attacks, phishing portals, DNS spoofing, ARP poisoning, and traffic proxying, but is deprecated in favor of wifipumpkin3.

Use cases

• set up a rogue wifi access point for security testing
• perform man-in-the-middle attacks on wireless clients
• audit wifi network security
• run a captive portal phishing simulation
• sniff credentials and probe requests on a wireless network
• spoof DNS and poison ARP during pentests

When to choose

• you need a GUI-driven rogue AP framework for legacy Python 2.7 environments
• you want an all-in-one wifi attack toolkit with plugin support

When to avoid

• you are starting a new project - use wifipumpkin3 instead
• you need maintained software with active support
• you require Python 3 compatibility
