A GUI‑based Wi‑Fi learning and testing toolkit created by Mohammed Zahid Wadiwale 🌐 https://www.webaon.com


📌 What Is Wi‑Fi Lab Controller?

Wi‑Fi Lab Controller is an educational GUI toolkit that allows you to experiment with Wi‑Fi functions safely on your own equipment.

It is made for:

  • Raspberry Pi
  • Parrot OS
  • Kali Linux
  • Ubuntu (with wireless tools installed)
  • Any Linux system with aircrack‑ng, hostapd, dnsmasq, and NetworkManager

This tool is strictly for lab experiments on your own Wi‑Fi network.

It does NOT include any malicious intent — all functions require manual confirmation and can be restored with the End Attack / Restore Normal button.


📥 Installation

Install required dependencies:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3 python3-tk aircrack-ng hostapd dnsmasq network-manager xdg-utils

Clone your repository:

git clone https://github.com/ZahidServers/WiFi-Lab-Controller.git
cd Wifi-Lab-Controller
cd wifilab

Run:

sudo python3 app.py

(root or sudo required)


🧰 Features Overview

Feature Description
Mode 1 — Safe Disconnect + Fake AP Restarts Wi‑Fi + starts your test AP
Mode 2 — Fake AP Only Runs hostapd & dnsmasq
Mode 3 — Scan 2.4 GHz Monitor mode + airodump scan + DeAuth
Mode 4 — Scan 5 GHz Monitor mode + airodump scan + DeAuth
Network Table Shows BSSID, Channel, Band, ESSID
Click-to-Select Networks User must confirm selection
Automated Restore System Stops AP, clears dnsmasq, flushes iptables
Domain Redirection Add dnsmasq rules easily
NAT Routing Enable local routing for fake AP
About Tab Credits, website links, support info

📘 Using Wi‑Fi Lab Controller (Tabs Explained)


🏠 1. Home Tab

Mode 1: Safe Disconnect + Fake AP

  • Restarts Wi‑Fi interface
  • Starts your configured hostapd fake AP
  • Starts dnsmasq DHCP

Mode 2: Fake AP Only

Starts hostapd + dnsmasq without restarting Wi‑Fi.

Safe Disconnect

Equivalent to:

ip link set wlan0 down
sleep 2
ip link set wlan0 up

Start Duplicate AP

Starts hostapd & dnsmasq.

Stop Fake AP

Stops hostapd & dnsmasq.

End Attack / Restore Normal

Restores EVERYTHING to default:

✔ Stops fake AP ✔ Stops dnsmasq ✔ Clears dnsmasq.conf ✔ Flushes iptables ✔ Restarts Wi‑Fi ✔ Restarts NetworkManager

If anything breaks, this button fixes it.


🌐 2. Network Tab

Show Network Interfaces

Runs:

ip a

Enable NAT Routing

Adds a MASQUERADE rule for sharing internet:

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE

🧭 3. Domain Redirection Tab

Used for local DNS experiments.

You can add:

address=/example.com/192.168.1.10

Useful for:

  • Phishing lab practice (on your own machines only)
  • Local DNS tests
  • Redirecting domains to internal servers

After adding a rule, dnsmasq restarts automatically.


📡 4. Scan Networks (Mode 3 & 4)

Requirements

Your Wi‑Fi card must support:

  • Monitor Mode
  • Packet injection

(usb cards: Alfa, TP‑Link T2U, T9UH, AC600, etc.)

Modes

Mode Function
Mode 3 Scans 2.4 GHz (bg band)
Mode 4 Scans 5 GHz (a band)

How Scanning Works

  • Puts interface into monitor mode via airmon-ng
  • Runs airodump‑ng
  • Reads output CSV in live mode
  • Updates table automatically every 2 seconds
  • Auto‑stops after 10 seconds unless manually stopped

Click‑to‑Select Network

When you click a row:

A CONFIRM BOX appears:

Do you want to select this network?

Interface: wlan0
BSSID: XX:XX:XX:XX
Channel: 6
Band: 2.4
ESSID: MyWifi

If user clicks OK:

  • Channel is set
  • (Optional/Disable) deauth function runs if enabled

If user clicks Cancel:

  • Nothing happens

❗ Legal & Safety Notice

This toolkit is for EDUCATIONAL & LAB USE ONLY.

You MUST:

✔ Only test on your own Wi‑Fi ✔ Not use on public Wi‑Fi ✔ Not test on neighbors, hotels, offices, or any unauthorized network

The tool includes features that demonstrate how Wi-Fi attacks work — they are meant for cybersecurity learning only.


🛠 Requirements

  • Linux OS
  • Python 3
  • Python tkinter
  • aircrack-ng
  • hostapd
  • dnsmasq
  • xdg-utils
  • Wireless card supporting monitor mode / AP mode

🐞 Troubleshooting

Problem: "Cannot find device wlan0"

Solutions:

  • Replace with your interface name (use ip a)
  • Many systems use wlp3s0, wlan1, etc.

Monitor Mode Not Starting

  • Use compatible wireless adapter

  • Try:

    sudo airmon-ng check kill
    

Fake AP not starting

Check hostapd.conf and dnsmasq.conf syntax.

Network breaks

Click End Attack / Restore Normal.
