Airstrike Features

Platform Overview

Airstrike is a Flask + Socket.IO web interface that orchestrates Wi-Fi assessment tooling directly from your browser. It keeps the UI simple, the API stable, and the code paths lean so you can focus on running proven wireless attacks without juggling dozens of terminals.

Focused Attack Surface

This build intentionally spotlights the three most stable operations in the suite:

• Deauthentication — automatically floods crafted 802.11 deauth frames to boot clients off a chosen AP.
• Handshake Capture + Cracking — captures WPA/WPA2 handshakes and launches aircrack-ng with the wordlist defined in web/shared.py.
• Evil Twin — clones the SSID with hostapd/dnsmasq, stands up DHCP/DNS spoofing, and can front a captive portal.

Everything else—experimental stubs, half-finished modules—was intentionally removed to keep operators on a predictable, regression-tested workflow.

Browser-driven Workflow

After launching sudo python run.py, browse to http://airstrike.local:5000:

1. Scan tab discovers nearby networks and shows adapter state.
2. Attack tab exposes configuration panels for the active scenario.
3. Results streams real-time Socket.IO logs and stores captures under captures/<BSSID>.

Ops-ready Defaults

• Global config lives in web/shared.py (interface, wordlist, capture directory).
• run.py enforces sudo/root, ensures /etc/hosts contains airstrike.local, and starts the Socket.IO server.
• Missing binaries (aircrack-ng, hostapd, dnsmasq, iw, etc.) surface immediately in the UI log pane so you can install them and retry.
• Adapters must support monitor mode and injection—USB NICs with Atheros/Ralink chipsets are field-tested favorites.

Repository Layout

• attacks/ — worker modules for deauth, handshake capture/cracking, and Evil Twin orchestration.
• web/ — Flask blueprints, Socket.IO events, and front-end modules under web/static/js/modules/attacks/.
• utils/ — helpers for interface management (monitor/managed mode toggles).
• run.py — entry point that enforces root execution and bootstraps the environment.

Lab-first Disclaimer

Airstrike is intended for lab use, red-team exercises, and research on networks you own or are explicitly authorized to assess. Misuse may violate law or policy—operate responsibly and document authorization for every engagement.
