sensetheair

a script to automate wi-fi pentesting tasks using the aircrack-ng suite for faster testing of access points.

use only against networks you own or are authorized to test.

requirements

aircrack-ng suite + iw

# arch
sudo pacman -S aircrack-ng iw

# debian/kali
sudo apt install aircrack-ng iw

run

chmod +x sensetheair
sudo ./sensetheair

needs root - monitor mode and packet injection both require it.

flow

1. pick your wireless interface
2. monitor mode turns on automatically (skipped if already on)
3. scans 15s, lists nearby APs with BSSID/channel/ESSID
4. pick a target - sets the interface to that AP's channel
5. deauth+capture - starts capture, fires deauth bursts, checks for a handshake after each burst, stops as soon as one lands
6. crack - runs the capture against a wordlist you point it at
7. exit - monitor mode turns off automatically

output

everything lands in /tmp/sensetheair/:

• scan-01.csv - raw scan results
• cap-01.cap - handshake capture
• airodump.log, deauth.log, scan.log - process logs if something goes wrong and you need to see what happened
