RTL8720dn Handshake Capture 📡🔐

Overview

The RTL8720dn Handshake Capture project enables users to capture WPA/WPA2 4-way handshakes using the BW16 module. This tool is designed for security researchers and enthusiasts who want to explore Wi-Fi security protocols and improve their understanding of wireless network vulnerabilities.

Features

• Capture WPA/WPA2 Handshakes: Effectively capture the necessary packets for authentication.
• Support for 5GHz Networks: Operate on 5GHz frequencies to access a broader range of networks.
• Brute Force Capability: Once handshakes are captured, utilize brute force methods to test password strength.
• User-Friendly Interface: Simple commands and clear outputs make it easy to use for both beginners and experts.
