In addition to the wireless hacking adapters, there are also many hardware devices that purpose built to hack wireless networks.

The goal of these devices is to find loopholes that compromise the security of a network so that the network administrator can fix these loopholes to make the WiFi network more secure.

1. WiFi Pineapple

WiFi Pineapple is a powerful and versatile wireless auditing platform from hak5. It contains a set of tools for wireless pentesting which is very helpful for network security administrators. WiFi Pineapple can also be used as a “Rouge Access Point”, thereby enabling targeted “Man-In-The-Middle” attacks. You can also conduct active WiFi attacks with manipulated management frames including deauth. Not only that, but WiFi Pineapple is also a great tool for advanced reconnaissance like identifying vulnerable devices, Monitoring and collecting data, gathering intelligence on targets etc.

The best part of this tool is that you don’t have to install any software to use it. Everything can be done through an intuitive web interface with just a few clicks.

There is also a very active community surrounding it with constant updates making it the most well-known and classic tool when it comes to pentesting WiFi networks.

2. DSTIKE WiFi Duck V2 USB Keyboard

USB rubber ducky is a tool that looks like a flash drive but acts as a keyboard and allows an attacker to execute keystroke injection attacks on target computers.
This open source project aims to provide a user-friendly tool to learn about keystroke injection attacks. A microcontroller acts as a USB keyboard that is programmable over WiFi.
A keyboard is trusted by most operating systems by default, which enables for a variety of attacks. Humans might not type very fast, but an automated device like this can. It can open a terminal and mess with your computer in a matter of a milliseconds! 4MB Flash ESP-WROOM-02

3. WiFi Deauther Wristwatch

De-authentication is necessary for hacking WiFi networks. Once you de-authenticate a client from a wireless network, the client is forced to re-authenticate with the network. During re-authentication, an attacker can steal the WPA handshake and use it to brute-force the password for the network. Also, de-authentication is useful in “Evil Twin” attacks, where the attacker disconnects the client from the wireless network and force the client to authenticate to a “Rouge Access Point”.

Deauther Wristwatch uses the same board but ships with a 3D printed case and a wristband so you can wear it as a smartwatch. Not only it’s a cool WiFi hacking device, but it is also very handy as compared to the Deauther board. The functionality of this wristwatch is same as the ESP8266 board and this will also work only with 2.4GHz frequency. The latest version of the device (v3) has OLED Display with an 800mAh lithium battery that gives up to 8-10 hrs working time.
