🟦 KARMA Attack 🟦
Why do you need this?
Instead of attacking the router, KARMA targets the client device. Many devices automatically connect to networks they trusted before — this attack exploits that behavior.
Quick start:
How it works:
Attacker scans for Wi-Fi probe requests sent by nearby devices
These probes contain SSIDs of networks the device connected to in the past
A fake access point is created using one of the requested SSIDs
Victim’s device connects automatically, without user confirmation
Attacker can observe traffic, perform MITM, or redirect to a captive portal
CLI Workflow:

📡 KARMA abuses trust — the device believes it’s reconnecting to a known, safe network.
