## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: abandoned
- function: security, networking, proxy, middleware
- domain: security, penetration-testing, networking, developer-tools
- platform: python, cli
- tags: wifi-security, rogue-access-point, man-in-the-middle, penetration-testing, wireless-auditing, deprecated, linux
