What it is
A modular tool written in Go that combines scanning, spoofing, proxy, and sniffing modules in one interactive session. Its reach spans Wi-Fi, Bluetooth Low Energy, 2.4 GHz wireless keyboards and mice, CAN-bus, and both IPv4 and IPv6.
What it helps with
- Mapping hosts and wireless devices during an authorized assessment
- Showing whether a network is exposed to ARP, DNS, or IPv6 neighbor spoofing
- Checking Bluetooth Low Energy devices and wireless input devices for weak spots
- Automating repeat sessions with caplet scripts and a REST API
Who it's for
Red teamers and penetration testers working on networks and devices they own or are authorized to assess.
Worth knowing
Versions before 2.x were written in Ruby and are deprecated, and the current release ships as a single binary. It also runs on Android and in Docker.
Does it have a graphical interface?
Yes. A web UI is available alongside the interactive console.
Who develops it?
Simone Margaritelli, known as evilsocket, created it and leads the project with community contributors.
