1. 2.8.2 Oct 25, 2025 · release notes

   wifite 2.8.2 refines WPS attack control and cleans up hashcat output and airmon verbosity.

   copy

   $ git clone --branch 2.8.2 https://github.com/kimocoder/wifite2.git

   └──▷ TRY IT
   Run wifite without cluttering the terminal with airmon interface debug messages; add -v only when you need to troubleshoot adapter issues.
   copy

   $ wifite --wps -v

   Skip Pixie-Dust but still let other WPS attacks (e.g. PIN brute-force) run against targets.
   copy

   $ wifite --wps --no-pixie

   • Hashcat integration now writes only the recovered key to cracked.json, reducing noise in output.
   • Airmon interface debug logging is now gated behind the -v verbose switch, keeping default output clean.
   • WPS attacks: --no-pixie flag no longer disables other WPS attacks, allowing remaining WPS methods to proceed independently.
