Network Security

Comprehensive network security toolkit with deauth attack detection and device monitoring

Version: v1 (Released Dec 2025)
Language: Python 3.7+

WiFi Security Monitor Interface

Overview

WiFi Security Monitor is an open-source Python toolkit designed to protect wireless networks from attacks and unauthorized access. It combines two powerful monitoring systems into one comprehensive security solution that works with any WiFi adapter supporting monitor mode.

Key Features

🛡️ Deauth Attack Detection

Real-time detection of WiFi deauthentication attacks using advanced behavioral analysis

Dual-band monitoring (2.4GHz & 5GHz)
MAC spoofing detection
Threat scoring (0-100 scale)
Forensic logging for evidence

📡 Network Device Monitor

Track all devices on your network with intelligent detection and alerting

Real-time device tracking
IoT device identification
Suspicious device alerts
Connection statistics & history

🧠 Behavioral Analysis

Advanced fingerprinting techniques that don’t rely on hardware MAC addresses

Timing pattern analysis
RSSI tracking & anomaly detection
Sequence number verification
Multi-factor legitimacy scoring

🌐 Universal Compatibility

Works with any monitor mode capable WiFi adapter on Linux systems

Tested on Raspberry Pi & Ubuntu
Supports Atheros, Ralink, Realtek chipsets
Run both tools simultaneously
No specialized hardware required

How It Works

Instead of relying on hardware MAC addresses (which most adapters don’t expose), WiFi Security Monitor uses sophisticated behavioral fingerprinting:

⏱️ Timing Analysis — Legitimate routers have consistent timing patterns, while attack tools show irregular behavior
📶 RSSI Tracking — Sudden signal strength changes indicate device switching or location spoofing
🔢 Sequence Numbers — Duplicate or anomalous sequence numbers reveal packet injection attacks
📊 Rate Analysis — Attack tools often use unusual transmission rates that differ from legitimate traffic
✅ Legitimacy Scoring — Multi-factor assessment combines all metrics to determine if a device is genuine

Understanding Threat Levels

🟢 LOW (0-39) — Likely legitimate activity - normal router behavior with no red flags
🟡 MEDIUM (40-69) — Suspicious activity detected - monitor closely and investigate source
🔴 CRITICAL (70-100) — Active attack detected - immediate action required to protect network

Technical Details

💻 Requirements

Quick Start

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/nnxazolazuranikola/wifi-security-monitor.git
cd wifi-security-monitor

# Install dependencies
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

# Configure your settings
cp config.example.json config.json
nano config.json

# Enable monitor mode
sudo airmon-ng start wlan0

# Start deauth attack detector
sudo python3 deauth_detector.py

# In another terminal, start device monitor
sudo python3 network_monitor.py

⚠️ Legal Disclaimer

This tool is for authorized security testing only. Only use it on networks you own or have explicit permission to test. Monitor mode may violate local regulations in some jurisdictions. Unauthorized network monitoring may be illegal in your country. The author assumes no liability for misuse.
