Offensive Wifi Recon

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Security work in your project

Example prompts

• “/offensive-wifi-recon”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

1. 1Pick the right adapter for the target's band(s) and PHY
2. 2Verify monitor mode + injection actually work
3. 3Set the regulatory domain (legal channels and TX power)
4. 4Sweep all bands passively
5. 5Drill down on each in-scope BSSID for client population and PMF status
6. 6Record everything in a structured target list before any active attack

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 739512a. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).

  From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

• Network

  Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

  • github.com

  From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

• Credentials

  Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

  From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Offensive Wifi Recon loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 142 tokens; SKILL.md has 504 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~142

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1.7k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

• NoteRuns commands with sudoSKILL.md:43

  sudo airmon-ng check kill

• NoteRuns commands with sudoSKILL.md:46

  sudo airmon-ng start wlan0

• NoteRuns commands with sudoSKILL.md:48

  sudo ip link set wlan0 down

• NoteRuns commands with sudoSKILL.md:49

  sudo iw wlan0 set monitor control

• NoteRuns commands with sudoSKILL.md:50

  sudo ip link set wlan0 up

• NoteRuns commands with sudoSKILL.md:53

  sudo aireplay-ng --test wlan0mon

• NoteRuns commands with sudoSKILL.md:65

  sudo iw reg set US

• NoteRuns commands with sudoSKILL.md:74

  sudo airodump-ng wlan0mon --band abg

• NoteRuns commands with sudoSKILL.md:77

  sudo airodump-ng wlan0mon --band a

• NoteRuns commands with sudoSKILL.md:80

  sudo airodump-ng wlan0mon --band ax

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description

Wi-Fi reconnaissance methodology — adapter selection, monitor mode and packet injection setup, regulatory domain handling, multi-band airspace mapping, hidden SSID discovery, BSSID/ESSID/channel/PMF/encryption fingerprinting, client probe analysis, vendor OUI lookup, war-driving with Kismet/airodump-ng/Wigle, and structured airspace data capture for downstream attacks. Use at the start of any wireless engagement to build the target map before active attacks; covers 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz (Wi-Fi 6E) bands and adapter compatibility for each.

# Identify your radio
lsusb | grep -iE "(atheros|realtek|mediatek|alfa)"
iw dev
iw list | grep -A 8 "Supported interface modes"
iw list | grep -E "Frequencies:" -A 30

# Kill conflicting services
sudo airmon-ng check kill

# Enable monitor mode
sudo airmon-ng start wlan0
# Or manually
sudo ip link set wlan0 down
sudo iw wlan0 set monitor control
sudo ip link set wlan0 up

# Verify monitor mode + injection
sudo aireplay-ng --test wlan0mon

# Check current
iw reg get

# Set explicitly (us = United States, jp = Japan extended, etc.)
sudo iw reg set US

# All bands
sudo airodump-ng wlan0mon --band abg

# 5 GHz only (helps see UNII bands)
sudo airodump-ng wlan0mon --band a

# 6 GHz (requires 6E-capable adapter and updated airodump-ng)
sudo airodump-ng wlan0mon --band ax

# Hop only specific channels
sudo airodump-ng wlan0mon -c 1,6,11,36,40,44,48

sudo airodump-ng wlan0mon --band abg --write recon --output-format pcap,csv

sudo airodump-ng -c 6 --bssid AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF -w target wlan0mon

# Wait for legitimate client to associate, ESSID appears in airodump output
# Or, if a client is already associated, deauth them once to force reassociation:
sudo aireplay-ng --deauth 1 -a AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF -c 11:22:33:44:55:66 wlan0mon

sudo kismet -c wlan0mon
# Open https://localhost:2501 for the dashboard

# Export Kismet's .kismet → CSV → Wigle import format
kismetdb_dump_devices --in capture.kismet --out devices.csv

# Quick OUI lookup
echo "AA:BB:CC" | wireshark-tools/manuf-lookup
# Or check the airodump CSV's BSSID prefix against /usr/share/wireshark/manuf

# 1. Setup
sudo airmon-ng check kill && sudo airmon-ng start wlan0
sudo iw reg set US
sudo aireplay-ng --test wlan0mon          # confirm injection (skip if pure passive)

# 2. Sweep all bands, write to file
sudo airodump-ng wlan0mon --band abg --write recon --output-format pcap,csv

# 3. Kismet for sustained map (optional)
sudo kismet -c wlan0mon --no-ncurses --daemonize

# 4. Per BSSID drill-down
sudo airodump-ng -c <ch> --bssid <BSSID> -w <name> wlan0mon

# 5. Build target list with all fields above
