bettercap is a powerful, easily extensible and portable framework which aims to offer to security researchers, red teamers and reverse engineers an easy to use, all-in-one solution.
It offers features needed for performing reconnaissance and attacking WiFi networks, Bluetooth Low Energy devices, wireless HID devices and IPv4/IPv6 networks.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- WiFi networks scanning, deauthentication attack, clientless PMKID association attack and automatic WPA/WPA2 client handshakes capture.
- Bluetooth Low Energy devices scanning, characteristics enumeration, reading and writing.
2.4Ghz wireless devices scanning and MouseJacking attacks with over-the-air HID frames injection (with DuckyScript support). - Passive and active IP network hosts probing and recon.
- ARP, DNS, DHCPv6 and NDP spoofers for MITM attacks on IPv4 and IPv6 based networks.
- Proxies at packet level, TCP level and HTTP/HTTPS application level fully scriptable with easy to implement javascript plugins.
- A powerful network sniffer for credentials harvesting which can also be used as a network protocol fuzzer.
- A very fast port scanner.
- A powerful REST API with support for asynchronous events notification on websocket to orchestrate your attacks easily.
- An easy to use web user interface.
