🟦 KARMA Attack 🟦

Why do you need this?

Instead of attacking the router, KARMA targets the client device. Many devices automatically connect to networks they trusted before — this attack exploits that behavior.


Quick start: ADV_Karma


How it works:

  • Attacker scans for Wi-Fi probe requests sent by nearby devices
  • These probes contain SSIDs of networks the device connected to in the past
  • A fake access point is created using one of the requested SSIDs
  • Victim’s device connects automatically, without user confirmation
  • Attacker can observe traffic, perform MITM, or redirect to a captive portal

CLI Workflow:

  1. 1
  2. 2
  3. 3
  4. 4

📡 KARMA abuses trust — the device believes it’s reconnecting to a known, safe network.
