CyclePatrol: Bash tool for on-foot Wi-Fi security checks in a loop, with evidence reports.

CyclePatrol is a Bash script tool that performs on-foot Wi-Fi security assessments in a loop, scanning wireless networks and collecting security-related data such as WPS status, PMKID, WPA2/WPA3 handshake captures, and enterprise EAP configurations. It uses external Linux wireless tools like iw, reaver, hcxdumptool, airodump-ng, and hashcat to run active and passive tests on authorized networks. The tool requires root access and outputs JSONL facts, proof files, and HTML reports with findings and evidence. It includes modules for various attack vectors but emphasizes authorized use only. The tool is currently a work in progress and does not include automated testing or CI.

CyclePatrol itself is a security assessment tool and does not represent a vulnerability or threat. Its impact lies in enabling authorized users to identify weaknesses in Wi-Fi networks by performing active and passive tests. Unauthorized use of the tool could lead to illegal network probing or attacks, but the tool includes warnings to restrict active tests to authorized networks only. There are no known exploits associated with CyclePatrol, and it does not introduce vulnerabilities by itself.

No remediation or patch is applicable as CyclePatrol is a security assessment tool rather than a vulnerability. Users should ensure they have proper authorization before running active tests with CyclePatrol to avoid legal or ethical issues. Follow the tool's guidance to use it only on networks you own or have explicit permission to test.
