vwifi-dkms

The vwifi-dkms package delivers essential functionalities for creating and managing virtual Wi-Fi networks. It allows users to scan for dummy Wi-Fi networks, establish connections, and disconnect from them, built on the cfg80211 subsystem which works with FullMAC drivers. This tool supports both Station Mode and Host AP Mode, featuring robust WPA/WPA2 security.

Users can configure wireless environments by combining vwifi-dkms with hostapd for Host AP mode interfaces and wpa_supplicant for station mode interfaces. This setup is ideal for testing wireless configurations, simulating network environments, or developing Wi-Fi-related applications in a controlled setting.

Complementing vwifi-dkms is the vwifi-tool package, which offers user-specific customizations like displaying driver status and managing a deny list via netlink sockets. Together, these tools provide flexibility for advanced wireless experimentation on Kali Linux.

vwifi-dkms leverages the cfg80211 subsystem, collaborating with FullMAC drivers to emulate Wi-Fi interfaces. It supports Station Mode for client connections and Host AP Mode for access point functionality, with integrated WPA/WPA2 security. The vwifi-tool uses netlink sockets to communicate with the vwifi driver, enabling status checks and user-configured deny lists for customized control.
