wifite
What it’s for
Automates attacks against nearby wifi networks — handshakes, WPS and PMKID capture.
Where it shines
- Point-and-go for wifi captures
- Good for grabbing handshakes to crack later
Where it falls down
- Hardware-dependent
- Automation can march past things you’d want to check by hand
My take
[EDIT ME: your one-line verdict — day-one essential, learn later, or overhyped, in your own words.]
