Big improvements / Bugfixes

Changelog Summary

🐛 Critical Bug Fixes

• Fixed missing subprocess import in wifite/attack/all.py that was causing NameError: name 'subprocess' is not defined crashes during attacks

• Enhanced error handling across multiple modules with specific exception types instead of generic catches

• Fixed airmon interface parsing to properly handle different airmon-ng output formats and edge cases

🔧 Error Handling & Stability Improvements

• Comprehensive exception handling added to all major modules:
• AttackAll, AttackWEP, AttackWPA, Reaver, Bully, Wash
• Specific handling for subprocess.CalledProcessError, OSError, IOError, ValueError, PermissionError
• Enhanced main error handling in wifite.py with proper cleanup and user-friendly error messages
• Improved process cleanup with new ProcessManager class for tracking and cleaning up zombie processes

🚀 Performance & Memory Optimizations

• Memory management improvements in Scanner:
• Target list size limits (1000 max) to prevent memory bloat
• Periodic cleanup of archived targets (500 max, keep newest 300)
• Automatic garbage collection during long scans
• Output size limits in Process class to prevent memory issues with large command outputs
• File size checking before copying large capture files to prevent memory problems

🛠 Tool & Compatibility Improvements

• Hashcat modernization:
• Updated from deprecated mode 2500 to modern mode 22000 for WPA/WPA2
• Improved hash parsing and error handling
• Better support for WPA3-SAE hashes
• Airmon interface detection improvements for various wireless chipsets and output formats
• Tshark test fixes with temporary file handling to resolve permission issues

🔒 Security & Robustness

• Process management with proper cleanup and signal handling
• File operation safety with error handling for disk space and permission issues
• Input validation improvements for target parsing and configuration
• Graceful shutdown handling with escalating signal termination (SIGINT → SIGTERM → SIGKILL)

📊 User Experience Improvements

• Better error messages with specific error types and helpful context
• Improved target display formatting and alignment
• Enhanced debugging output with verbose mode support
• Safer target validation to filter invalid BSSIDs and handle edge cases

This release significantly improves wifite2's stability, performance, and error handling while laying the groundwork for future enhanced scanning capabilities.

Bugfixes / Improvements

• Fix coWPatty support. Finally working again.
• Allow airodump-ng to exit & get reaped
• Supports latest hcxdumptool (v6.3.0) instead of older
• Updated Dockerfile to use Debian Bookworm.
• Updated the README.md

Bugfixes / Improvements

• added Sourcery AI worklow
• added python-3.12 classifier
• switch to use airmon-ng (VIF) first
• db: fix strings in db in order to make --cracked work again
• updated fetch-oui script for faster fetching updated lists
• updated mac vendor OUI list
• depenencies: update pytest version and repo (type)
• updated Dockerfile
• tools: remove ath_masker from tools
• tools: remove customized wash
• python: python pep8 improvements
• append changelog to fulfill obligation of GPL-2.0
• fixed bully dependency link
• other minor fixes

Features / Bugfixes / Enhancements

• Update ath_masker

• backtrace: better handle the debug (stacktrace) then in tool output
  parsing all trace in stdout.

• terminal: Suppress stderr and stdout when writing pixie keys to db

• wash: Add a customized 'wash' tool (from reaver) which is
  handling memory (cache/flush) and timers and more. We gonna hardcode/modulize this
  so users isn't depending on various ones from their respective distros which varies.

• tools/script: Add fetch-oui script (which will be a module later)

• tools/script: Add example automation "run-automation.sh" script

• Nullpin: fixed '--no-nullpin' which was doing the opposite and triggered other params

• John: fix a param for return of key to avoid a crash if none found (traceback)

• Crack: improve the output in the ESSID target list by removed the parentheses surrounding 4-way captures listed

• DB: fixed parsing bssid and essid to json db file

• DB: tweaked the export of 4-way handshakes to the DB, so it looks a bit better now they're inligned.

  Been looking and walkthrough all deps (tools) to ensure it all fits, as things changes with time,
  partially fixed cracking by using john, testing good, but we need to find a new way to read and parse the output (key). (TODO)

• Update 'chardet' dependency from v5.0.0 to v5.1.0

• Update 'scapy' dependency from v2.5.0rc2 to v2.5.0

• Fix overly permissive regular expression range

• Update OUI (manufacturers) list

• Tweak scanner output

• Update Dockerfile to use python-3.12

• Code cleanup (minimalize the source)

• Update README.md

Enhancements / Bugfixes

Enhancements / Bugfixes

• Stop using airmon-ng and virtual interfaces (VIF).
  This should cause less adapter interference
  and attacks should be faster.

  We rather call / use 'ip' and 'iw' to handle monitor
  mode on interface.
