COMPATIBLE SOFTWARE & PROJECTS

aircrack-ng SOFTWARE NOT ASSESSED open source site ↗

The classic 802.11 suite: monitor-mode capture, deauth, handshake capture and offline cracking (with hashcat for modern WPA).

bettercap SOFTWARE NOT ASSESSED bettercap repo ↗

Network attack/recon framework with a BLE module for device discovery and GATT enumeration, plus Wi-Fi recon and handshake capture.

Wireshark SOFTWARE NOT ASSESSED open source site ↗

The universal packet dissector. Capture tools across these protocols export to PCAP, and Wireshark dissects, decodes and lets you filter the frames here, supplying a network/link key where one is needed to decrypt in place.
