[Description] - Fluxion is a security auditing and social-engineering research tool. It is a remake of linset by vk496 with (hopefully) fewer bugs and more functionality.

[Features] – Fluxion is multilingual. It can harvest wlan credentials and create an evil twin.
[Update and/or dependency checking] – The tool has autoupdate at start (can be overgone, when wanted) It can check for dependencies at start (using commandline), which will then automatically doenload and install dependencies. Can be overgone, when not wanted.

[Programming language] – The code is written in bash.

[Hardcoding] - The tool contain no hardcoded directories and paths?

[Dependencies] – You need a linux system and wireless hardware.
[Missing] – see above

[Old] - This tool require no old version of a dependency.
[Kaboxer] - Is this tool a candidate for Kaboxer?
Do not know, what is kaboxer?

[Similar tools] - Tools are out there that can be used for similar purpose are airgeddon, wifite, eaphammer, wifipumpkin3, wifiphisher

[How to install] – Installation is done by git clone:
git clone https://www.github.com/FluxionNetwork/fluxion.git

[System-wide installation] - The tool support system-wide installation.
[How to use] – You have to own root rights.
Important note: There is different behaviour, when you start it!

1. Best options are starting X, then go to /opt/fluxion/ and enter the command „./fluxion.sh“.
2. Second option: As normal user in X started as user, open shell and cd to /opt/fluxion/. From here start fluxion by using command „sudo ./fluxion.sh“.
3. When starting as normal user from any other directory using „sudo /opt/fluxion/fluxion.sh“ will start, but will NOT find all plugins. This might be a general linux issue.
4. When in X as normal user and then change to become root with the command „su -p“, you can start fluxion. But there are missbehaviours, According to, if started ./fluxion.sh from within directory „/opt/fluxion/“ or from outside like „/opt/fluxion/fluxion.sh“, the tool either does not find the language settings or not all plugins and dependencies. Maybe a general linux issue, too.

[Pentest use case] - This tool is usefull in a Pentest to show weak credentials or MITM-Attacks and can people make learn to be more sensible in wireless environments.

This tool is now packaged in Kali and should be ready in kali-rolling in a few days.

Thanks for the report ;)
