he method of attack that we will be using to hack wifi using WiFi-phishers it’s a techniques in which is well known in the hacking community as social engineering attack in which when compared to other techniques it doesn’t brute force it way on cracking the pass code its simple generate a captive portal page and request the victims to input their wifi credentials for a firmware upgrade.

How does this tool works.

It first jams the wireless network access point’s, in which it de-authenticate or disassociate all devices that are connected the targeted access points by sending disruptive packets towards it.
The tool also sniffs the targeted access point settings and copy over the configuration which then are use to generate fake access points with the same settings (Evil twin wireless network).
