About
Enables AI assistants to perform authorized WiFi security assessments, including network scanning, handshake capture, and password cracking, by executing aircrack-ng commands on a remote Kali Linux system via SSH.
README
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides WiFi security auditing capabilities using the aircrack-ng suite. Commands are executed on a remote Kali Linux system via SSH, enabling AI assistants to perform authorized wireless security assessments.
Features
- Monitor Mode Management - Enable/disable monitor mode on wireless interfaces
- Network Discovery - Scan and enumerate wireless networks with detailed information
- Packet Capture - Capture packets from targeted access points (background operation)
- Handshake Capture - Deauthentication attacks to capture WPA/WPA2 handshakes
- Password Cracking - Attempt to crack captured handshakes using wordlists
- Remote Execution - All operations run on a remote Kali system via SSH
Prerequisites
- Kali Linux System - With aircrack-ng suite installed
- SSH Access - Passwordless SSH recommended (key-based authentication)
- Wireless Adapter - Compatible adapter that supports monitor mode and packet injection
- Node.js - Version 18 or higher

Typical Workflow
A typical WPA/WPA2 security assessment workflow:
1. test_connection # Verify SSH connectivity and aircrack-ng
2. airmon_check # List available wireless interfaces
3. airmon_check_kill # Kill interfering processes
4. airmon_start(wlan0) # Enable monitor mode -> wlan0mon
5. airodump_scan(wlan0mon, 30) # Scan for networks (30 seconds)
6. airodump_capture(...) # Start capturing target network
7. aireplay_deauth(...) # Deauth to force handshake
8. aircrack_check_handshake(...) # Verify handshake captured
9. aircrack_crack(...) # Attempt to crack password
10. airodump_stop(...) # Stop the capture
11. airmon_stop(wlan0mon) # Restore managed mode
Security Considerations
- Authorization Required - Only use on networks you own or have explicit written permission to test
- SSH Security - Use key-based authentication and restrict SSH access
- Capture Files - Captured data may contain sensitive information; handle appropriately
- Legal Compliance - Ensure compliance with local laws and regulations
Legal Notice
