Airgorah is a WiFi security auditing software that captures wireless traffic, discovers connected clients, performs deauthentication attacks, captures handshakes, and cracks access point passwords.
The tool addresses the need for a native Linux application to audit WiFi networks you own. It combines packet capture and analysis capabilities with password cracking functionality in a single graphical interface. The software runs as a normal user under both X11 and Wayland, delegating privileged operations to a small agent launched via polkit that prompts for authentication when needed. This architecture avoids requiring the entire application to run with elevated privileges.
Airgorah suits security professionals and network administrators testing their own infrastructure on Linux systems. The tool requires a wireless network card supporting monitor mode and packet injection. The project is written in Rust and uses GTK4 for its graphical interface. The README emphasizes that the software is designed for testing networks you own; performing attacks on networks you do not own is illegal in most jurisdictions.
The project maintains active engagement with users through discussions for questions and accepts bug reports and feature requests via issues and pull requests. Development activity shows consistent responsiveness to community contributions and an openness to expanding the tool's capabilities based on user feedback.
