Note: Channels 12 and 13 are allowed in low-power mode, while channel 14 is banned and only allowed in Japan. Great, so this will change channels incrementally from 1 to 14 every 0.5 seconds, spawning the daemon thread that runs this function: # start the channel changerĬhannel_changer = Thread(target=change_channel) Os.system(f"iwconfig ")įor instance, if you want to change to channel 2, the command would be: iwconfig wlan0mon channel 2 We can use the iwconfig command to change the channel, here is the Python function for it: def change_channel(): Now if you execute this, you will notice not all nearby networks are available, that's because we're listening on one WLAN channel only. Sniff(prn=callback, iface=interface) Changing Channels # start the thread that prints all the networks

To the main code now: if _name_ = "_main_": Since we're going to use sniff() function (which blocks and start sniffing in the main thread), we need to use a separate thread to print the content of networks dataframe, the below code does that: def print_all(): Now we need a way to visualize this dataframe. In hidden networks, the access point leaves the info field blank to hide the discovery of the network name, you will still find them using this tutorial's script, but without a network name. You will encounter some networks that doesn't have the SSID ( ssid equals to ""), this is an indicator that it's a hidden network. Finally, we add these information to the dataframe with the BSSID as the index. the Scapy's Dot11Beacon class has the awesome network_stats() function that extracts some useful information from the network, such as the channel, rates and the encryption type. This callback makes sure that the sniffed packet has a beacon layer on it, if it is the case, then it will extract the BSSID, SSID (name of access point), signal and some stats. Networks.loc = (ssid, dbm_signal, channel, crypto) If you're familiar with Scapy, then you know for sure that we are going to use the sniff() function, which takes the callback function that is executed whenever a packet is sniffed, let's implement this function: def callback(packet): So I've set the BSSID (MAC address of the access point) as the index of each row, as it is unique for every device. # set the index BSSID (MAC address of the AP) Next, we need to initialize an empty data frame that stores our networks: # initialize the networks dataframe that will contain all access points nearby

Let's get started, open up a new Python file and import the necessary modules: from scapy.all import * Sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor Writing the Code You can also use iwconfig itself to change your network card into monitor mode: sudo ifconfig wlan0 down Now you can check your interface name using iwconfig:Īs you can see, our interface is now in monitor mode and has the name of "wlan0mon".

Now the code of this tutorial won't work if you do not enable monitor mode in your network interface, please install aircrack-ng (comes pre-installed on Kali) and run the following command: Note: This tutorial assumes you are using any Unix-based environment, it is also suggested you use Kali Linux.Īfter that, we gonna use pandas just for printing in a nice format (you can change that obviously): pip3 install pandas Or you can clone the current developement version in Github: git clone

To get started, you need to install Scapy, I have cloned the developement version, you can also install it using pip: pip3 install scapy If you're on this field for a while, you might have seen airodump-ng utility that sniff, capture and decode 802.11 frames to display nearby wireless networks in a nice format, in this tutorial, we will do a similar one.

Have you ever wanted to build a tool to display nearby wireless networks along with their MAC address and some other useful information ? Well, in this tutorial, we are going to build a Wi-Fi scanner using Scapy library in Python.
