PacketBurn – Network Security Toolkit

PacketBurn is an educational and research-oriented toolkit for network security enthusiasts, designed to demonstrate real‑world network attack techniques in controlled environments.

⚠ Legal Notice: This project is strictly intended for educational and experimentation purposes in authorized environments only. Unauthorized or malicious use may violate laws, and the author is not responsible for any misuse.

Features

• Network Scanner: Discovers devices connected to the router and displays their IP and MAC addresses.
• Deauthentication Attack: Simulates disconnecting devices from a Wi‑Fi network (requires monitor mode).
• ARP Spoofing: Intercepts and redirects traffic between victim devices and the gateway.
• ARP Spoofing Killer: A more aggressive version of ARP Spoofing, continuously sending spoofed packets.

Requirements

• Python 3.x

• Required libraries:

  pip install termcolor scapy netifaces

• A network interface in monitor mode (required for Deauth attacks)

• Superuser (root) privileges to send raw packets

Running on Windows

If you're using Windows:

1. Install Npcap for packet capture: https://nmap.org/npcap/

2. Install the dependencies listed above.

3. Run the script with elevated privileges, e.g.:

   python PacketBurn.py

Note: Some features (e.g. Deauth attack) may not function properly on Windows due to limited support for monitor mode.

Usage Instructions

Run the tool with:

sudo python3 PacketBurn.py

You’ll be prompted with an interactive menu:

1. Refresh device list – Scan and list active devices.
2. Select a target – Choose a device and apply an attack type.
3. Attack all devices (excluding yours) – Perform simultaneous attacks.
4. Exit – Quit the program.

Important Considerations

• Use strictly for educational purposes within networks you have permission to test.
• Respect local laws and regulations surrounding network security.
• Misuse of this tool may result in legal consequences.
• This project is aimed at helping security learners and professionals understand network vulnerabilities and develop defensive techniques.
