Wifiway 3.5 takes the opposite approach. At under 700 MB, it’s than Kali. While Kali provides everything you might possibly need for any security task, Wifiway focuses specifically on wireless auditing. This specialization means it boots faster, runs on older hardware, and presents a simpler interface for wireless-specific work.

While Wifiway 3.5 was a legendary tool in its time, it is now obsolete and potentially unsafe to use due to unpatched vulnerabilities and lack of driver support for modern Wi-Fi cards. For a helpful and secure experience, downloading or Wifislax64 is the much better choice.

Verify your download to ensure it hasn’t been corrupted or tampered with. The official MD5 checksum for the development ISO is:

Wireless network penetration testing must only be conducted under strict ethical boundaries. Accessing, intercepting, or auditing a wireless network without explicit, written authorization from the infrastructure owner is a violation of cyber laws globally (such as the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act in the US). Tools like Wifiway are strictly built for professional network defense, academic study, and personal infrastructure hardening.

A legendary GUI (Graphic User Interface) for Aircrack-ng that made "packet injection" and "deauthentication attacks" much easier for beginners.

The kernel version 3.18.51 EOL was specifically chosen because it offers excellent compatibility with a wide range of wireless interfaces for auditing purposes, making Wifiway 3.5 highly effective at detecting and interacting with various WiFi adapters.

As with any software, especially one created by a small team, Wifiway 3.5 has a few known quirks. The most notable one involves the DHCP server package.

A tool specifically for exploiting WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) vulnerabilities.

Once your USB is ready, insert it into the computer you wish to use, reboot, and select the USB drive as the boot device.
