- **Mass Attack Mode** - Automatically attack all discovered networks sequentially
- **Custom Wordlists** - Support for unlimited password lists
- **Real-time Testing** - Actual WiFi connection attempts (not simulation)

#### WPS PIN Attack (Detection + Framework)
- **WPS Detection** - Identifies WPS-enabled networks automatically
- **WPS Status Display** - Shows WPS version, lock status, config methods
- **PIN Database** - 25+ common default WPS PINs
- **Vendor Prioritization** - Tests vendor-specific PINs first (TP-Link, Netgear, etc.)
- **Attack Framework** - Complete UI and flow (simulation mode on Windows)
- **Tool Recommendations** - Suggests reaver/bully for real WPS attacks

#### Smart Features
- **Automatic Attack Selection** - Suggests WPS or password attack based on network
- **Skip Cracked Networks** - Shows previously cracked passwords
- **Smart Cipher Detection** - Automatically infers encryption type from security protocol

### 📝 Password Sources
- **Default Wordlist** - Automatically loads from `data/passwords.txt`
- **Custom Wordlist** - Load any external password file
- **Manual Entry** - Test a specific password instantly

### 💾 Intelligent Results Logging
- **Automatic JSON Logging** to `cracked.json`
- Stores comprehensive data:
  - Network SSID
  - Cracked password
  - Signal strength
  - Security type
  - Timestamp
  - Time elapsed
  - Number of attempts
- **Smart Updates** - Automatically updates if same network is cracked again

### 🎨 User Experience
- **Hacker-Style Interface** with ASCII art and color-coded output
- **Real-time Progress Tracking** with attempt counters
- **Password Masking** for security during testing
- **Animated Scanning** with visual feedback

## 💻 Platform Support

| Platform | Password Attack | WPS Detection | WPS PIN Attack | Network Scanning |
|----------|----------------|---------------|----------------|------------------|
| **Windows 10/11** | ✅ Fully Functional | ✅ Yes | ⚠️ Simulation* | ✅ Yes |
| **Linux** | ✅ Fully Functional | ✅ Yes | ⚠️ Simulation* | ✅ Yes |
| **macOS** | ✅ Fully Functional | ✅ Yes | ⚠️ Simulation* | ✅ Yes |

**\*WPS PIN Attack Note**: The WPS attack feature detects WPS-enabled networks and provides the complete attack framework, but actual PIN testing is simulated because the `pywifi` library doesn't support WPS protocol. For real WPS attacks, use dedicated tools like `reaver` or `bully` (Linux only).

### What Works on All Platforms:
- ✅ **Network Scanning** - Full detection with 10+ data points
- ✅ **Password Attacks** - Real WiFi connection attempts
- ✅ **WPS Detection** - Identifies vulnerable networks
- ✅ **Vendor Identification** - 200+ router manufacturers
- ✅ **Result Logging** - Automatic save to JSON
- ✅ **Network History** - Stability tracking

### Windows-Specific Notes:
- Works with native Windows WiFi adapters (no special drivers needed)
- Tested on MediaTek, Intel, Realtek WiFi adapters
- May require running as Administrator for some operations
- Password attacks are 100% functional (not simulation)

## ❓ Frequently Asked Questions

### Why is WPS attack in "simulation mode"?
The `pywifi` library (used for cross-platform compatibility) doesn't support WPS protocol natively. The WPS feature:
- ✅ Detects WPS-enabled networks
- ✅ Shows complete attack interface
- ✅ Tests PIN validation logic
- ⚠️ Simulates PIN testing (doesn't actually connect)

For real WPS attacks, use `reaver` or `bully` on Linux with monitor mode.

### Does password attack work on Windows?
**YES!** Password attacks are 100% functional on Windows. The tool makes real WiFi connection attempts using Windows' native WiFi API through `pywifi`. This is NOT simulation.

### How many networks can I attack at once?
Use Mass Attack mode `[A]` to attack all discovered networks sequentially. Results are automatically saved to `cracked.json`.

### Can I add my own passwords?
Yes! Edit `data/passwords.txt` and add one password per line. Or use option `[2]` to load a custom wordlist.

### Why does each password test take 5-10 seconds?
This is normal. The tool must:
1. Disconnect from current network
2. Create new WiFi profile
3. Attempt connection
4. Wait for authentication
5. Check connection status
6. Disconnect and cleanup

### How accurate is the vendor detection?
Very accurate! The tool uses IEEE OUI (Organizationally Unique Identifier) database with 200+ vendors. Vendor is identified from the first 3 octets of the MAC address.

## 🛠️ Troubleshooting

### Windows Issues

**"No WiFi interfaces found"**
- Ensure WiFi adapter is enabled in Network Settings
- Try running as Administrator: `Right-click → Run as Administrator`

**"Module not found" error**
```powershell
pip install --upgrade pywifi
```

### Linux Issues

**Permission denied**
```bash
sudo python3 run.py
```

**WiFi adapter not detected**
```bash
# Check WiFi interface
ip link show
# or
iwconfig
```

### General Issues

**Slow connection testing**
- Normal behavior - each password test takes 5-10 seconds
- Reduce wait time in `src/connector.py` (less accurate)

**No networks found**
- Ensure WiFi is enabled
- Move closer to access points
- Try refreshing the scan

## 🎯 Success Stories

This tool has successfully:
- Detected 200+ different router vendors
- Tracked network stability over time
- Identified WPS-enabled vulnerable networks
- Cracked passwords using wordlist attacks

## 🔮 Future Enhancements

Potential features for future versions:
- PMKID attack support (requires monitor mode)
- Integration with external WPS tools (reaver/bully)
- Pixie Dust attack implementation
- Evil Twin attack framework
- GUI interface option
- Mobile app version
- Cloud-based wordlist sync
