Visualise the wifi devices around you communicating to each other in their own networks

Project description

WifiGaze

WifiGaze is a network security tool designed to:

  • Observe WiFi devices in your proximity.
  • Create a graph of all devices they communicate with, including non-wireless devices if a WiFi device is interacting with them.
  • Incrementally discover more devices as it hops through all available WiFi channels.

Features:

  • Reveals devices on networks without decrypting any traffic.
  • Web interface that can be accessed locally or configured remotely
  • Supports exporting and importing of graphs.

Requirements

To use WifiGaze, you need something like default Kali (which gives the first 3):

  1. Python3
  2. Wireshark (tshark)
  3. sudo/root access - root is required to hop between wifi channels, it won't hop channels if you have the same number of interfaces as channels you are monitoring
  4. Wireless network interface(s) in monitor mode - See Example configuring of Monitor mode.
  5. if using a rpi sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev libxslt-dev

Installing WifiGaze

Create a virtual environment and install the wheel

virtualenv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install wifigaze-0.4.0-py3-none-any.whl

Running WifiGaze

Run WifiGaze with default settings and the first WLAN interface:

  wifigaze --interfaces=wlan0

For WLAN interfaces that don't support 5GHz, limit the channels to scan:

  wifigaze --interfaces=wlan1 --channels=1,6,11

Replay a previously captured PCAP file without requiring live interfaces:

  wifigaze --pcap-file=captures/demo.pcap

Once WifiGaze is running you can navigate to the web interface: http://127.0.0.1:8765

Command Line Options:

Option Description Default
--interfaces= List of WLAN interfaces to use (e.g., wlan0,wlan1).
--channels= List of channels to scan. 1,6,11,36,40,44,48,149,153,157,161
--channel-dwell-time= Time to listen on each channel before switching. 1
--no-monitormode Launches without listening to WLAN interfaces.
--preload-graph= Preload a previously exported graph. None
--listen-ip= IP address to listen on. 127.0.0.1
--listen-port= Port to listen on. 8765
--no-browser Do not launch the browser interface.
--pcap-file= Replay packets from a PCAP file instead of live capture. None
--log-level= Log level (TRACE, DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR, CRITICAL). INFO
-h, --help Display help message and exit.

Building the Project

WifiGaze requires Python 3 and Node.js to build. Use the following commands:
