    Docker images for learning wifi hacking

  • WiFiChallengeLab-docker

    Virtualized WiFi pentesting laboratory without the need for physical WiFi cards, using mac80211_hwsim. Docker version of WiFiChallenge Lab with modifications in the challenges and improved stability. Ubuntu virtual machine with virtualized networks and clients to perform WiFi attacks on OPN, WPA2, WPA3 and Enterprise networks.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • super

    📡 SPR: Open Source, secure, user friendly and fast wifi routers for your home. One wifi password per device. Ad Blocking & Privacy Blocklists. Policy Based Network Access (by spr-networks)

  • Somewhat related -- with the project I work on, https://github.com/spr-networks/super, we do support wireguard peers (and also support combining that wireguard identity with a wifi peer identity as well).

    Devices are provisioned by assigning or generating a wireguard keypair in the API.

    Next the peers are routed together by policy and by default can't access one another. There's support for bidirectional network groups or one-way firewall rules with NAT.

    One are of improvement is multicast support with wireguard, it's doable, just not ready yet.

  • certificates

    🛡️ A private certificate authority (X.509 & SSH) & ACME server for secure automated certificate management, so you can use TLS everywhere & SSO for SSH.

  • You can roll your own with https://github.com/smallstep/certificates. We maintain major open source projects and contribute a lot to other projects. I don’t think that means everything we do has to be open source. Sorry this one wasn’t. Doing this in pure open source would be a book, not a blog post.

    Love Let’s Encrypt — we’re sponsors — but using them for WiFi is a terrible idea. You need internal PKI for WiFi.
