🧠 Overview

WPA101 is a professional, WiFi brute-forcing engine built for rooted Android devices running Termux and Linux systems. It leverages a private wpa_supplicant instance communicating directly through the nl80211 driver — completely bypassing Android's HAL and framework restrictions.

Unlike traditional brute-forcers that rely on wpa_cli, wpa_supplicant.conf edits, or deprecated tools like reaver/bully, WPA101 spawns its own isolated wpa_supplicant process, talks to it via a UNIX control socket, and performs handshake-based PSK validation in real time.

The result is a fast, reliable, self-contained WPA2-PSK brute-forcing tool with a beautiful Rich-powered terminal UI.

📋 Requirements

Hardware

· Rooted Android device (Magisk / SuperSU / KernelSU) · WiFi chipset supporting nl80211 (most modern phones) · Linux PC with a compatible wireless adapter

Software

· Python 3.8+ · wpa_supplicant binary (with nl80211 driver support) · root-repo + tsu (for Termux) · rich Python library

Tested On

· Termux on Android 10–14 (rooted) · Kali Linux (ARM64 / x86_64) · Ubuntu 22.04 / 24.04

---

🚀 Installation

Termux (Rooted Android)

pkg update && pkg upgrade -y
pkg install root-repo -y
pkg install tsu wpa_supplicant python git -y
pip install rich
git clone https://github.com/sylhetyhackvenger/WPA101.git
cd WPA101

Linux (Debian/Ubuntu/Kali)

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y python3 python3-pip wpasupplicant wireless-tools
pip3 install rich
git clone https://github.com/sylhetyhackvenger/WPA101.git
cd WPA101

---

🎮 Usage

1. Gain Root Access

Termux:

tsu

Linux:

sudo -i

2. Verify Wireless Interface

ip link show wlan0

If your interface is different, edit IFACE at the top of WPA101.py.

3. Enable WiFi

svc wifi enable      # Android
nmcli radio wifi on  # Linux

4. Run WPA101

python3 WPA101.py

5. Interactive Workflow

[1] Tool scans for nearby networks (6 seconds)
[2] Displays a table of SSIDs with BSSID, RSSI, and security
[3] Prompts: ▶ Target # (Enter=rescan, 0=exit)
[4] Enter the number of your target network
[5] Enter the path to your wordlist
[6] Tool begins brute-forcing with live progress
[7] On success: shows password + wpa_supplicant status
[8] On failure: shows checklist + returns to scan menu

⚙️ How It Works

Step 1 — Private wpa_supplicant Initialization

WPA101 creates a temporary directory and writes a minimal wpa.conf:

ctrl_interface=/tmp/wpajoin_XXXXX
ctrl_interface_group=0
update_config=0
ap_scan=1

It then launches:

wpa_supplicant -K -d -Dnl80211,wext,hostapd,wired -i wlan0 -c /tmp/wpajoin_XXXXX/wpa.conf

Step 2 — Control Socket Communication

WPA101 binds a UNIX datagram socket and sends wpa_cli-style verbs directly to the supplicant's control interface:

Verb Purpose SCAN Trigger a WiFi scan SCAN_RESULTS Retrieve scan results ADD_NETWORK Create a new network entry SET_NETWORK ssid "..." Set SSID SET_NETWORK psk "..." Set PSK candidate SET_NETWORK key_mgmt WPA-PSK Set key management ENABLE_NETWORK Enable the entry SELECT_NETWORK Attempt connection STATUS Poll current wpa_state REMOVE_NETWORK Clean up TERMINATE Graceful shutdown

Step 3 — Handshake Validation

For each password candidate:

1. A temporary network is added with the candidate PSK
2. Supplicant attempts the 4-way handshake
3. WPA101 polls STATUS for wpa_state=COMPLETED (success)
4. WPA101 also monitors the raw wpa_supplicant log for: · WRONG_KEY · 4-Way Handshake failed · pre-shared key may be incorrect
5. On failure, the network entry is removed and the next candidate is tried

Step 4 — Success Detection

When wpa_state=COMPLETED is detected, WPA101:

· Records the working password · Prints the full STATUS output as proof · Waits 3 seconds, then returns to the scan menu

🛠️ Troubleshooting

❌ wpa_supplicant control socket never appeared

Cause: Your ROM strips nl80211 support from the binary.

Fix:

wpa_supplicant -Dnl80211 -i wlan0 -c /dev/null

If this fails, install a full wpa_supplicant build:

pkg install wpa_supplicant

❌ Permission denied on socket bind

Cause: Not running as root.

Fix:

tsu      # Termux
sudo -i  # Linux

❌ wlan0 not found

Cause: Interface name differs.

Fix: Run ip link and edit IFACE in WPA101.py.

❌ Scan returns no networks

Cause: WiFi disabled or driver busy.

Fix:

svc wifi enable
ip link set wlan0 up

❌ rich import error

Fix:

pip install --upgrade rich

❌ WPA3-only router

WPA101 targets WPA2-PSK. WPA3-SAE is not supported by this tool.

❓ FAQ

Q: Is this legal? A: Only on networks you own or have written permission to test. Anything else is illegal.

Q: Does it work on non-rooted devices? A: No. Root is required to spawn a private wpa_supplicant.

Q: Does it work on WPA3? A: No. This tool targets WPA2-PSK only.

Q: Can it crack WPA2 handshakes offline? A: No. WPA101 performs online PSK validation against a live AP.

Q: How fast is it? A: ~5 seconds per candidate (AP-dependent). Adjust wait in join() for slower APs.

Q: Does it support multiple wordlists? A: Not yet. Concatenate them first with cat list1 list2 > combined.txt.

Q: Can it save results? A: Yes — pipe output: python3 WPA101.py | tee results.log
