## What it is
Wifiphisher is a rogue Access Point framework for Wi-Fi security testing and red team engagements, enabling man-in-the-middle positioning via Evil Twin, KARMA, and Known Beacons attacks. It also mounts customized web phishing scenarios against connected clients to capture credentials or deliver malware, with a modular Python extension system.

## Use cases
- perform evil twin attacks against wifi clients
- capture WPA/WPA2 pre-shared keys via phishing
- run KARMA or known beacons association attacks
- conduct red team wifi phishing engagements from a Raspberry Pi
- create custom phishing scenarios for credential harvesting
- deauthenticate clients from a target access point

## When to choose
- you are a penetration tester or red teamer assessing wireless security
- you need a modular, extensible rogue AP framework with community phishing templates
- you want an interactive TUI that simplifies launching Wi-Fi phishing attacks

## When to avoid
- you lack authorization to test the target network - unauthorized use is illegal
- you need passive wireless monitoring or packet analysis rather than active attacks
- you require a GUI-driven or Windows-native tool
