When you enter the hacking world, you would know that almost every basic tutorial you would search for on the net won’t be possible without a Good Internet Connection.
Today we can find ourselves surrounded by a lot of WiFi networks everywhere. So, any way of accessing them will surely be useful, and if you are here, for this reason, my friend, you are in the right place.
So, why waste money on something we can access by our daily used android phones. Yes, you heard it right, certain apps can help you access a WiFi network without spending any money.
In this article, we will discuss some of the best Android apps that can help you gain access to the nearby WiFi networks, be it a nearby Network or the one owned by your neighbor.
So, without delay let’s begin:
List of Best WiFi Hacking Apps for Android
Before we start, we want you to know that these apps exist for other platforms, but we feel that android phones are more accessible and hence the need for this article. Also, note that you should try these apps only on your network or on a network you have permission. We won’t be responsible for any damage done to you or anybody else’s data.
1. Kali Linux NetHunter
Kali Linux is one of the most popular Linux Distro for ethical hacking purposes for PCs. Kali Linux was founded by Mati Aharoni and is currently maintained by Offensive Security PVT. Limited. What makes it special is that this is the first open-source android penetration testing platform. For using NetHunter, you need to launch Kali’s WiFi tool to go ahead with the process. NetHunter’s simple configuration process will help you in overcoming the problem with configuration Files. It needs a custom kernel, which supports 802.11 wireless injections. Thus, Making Kali Linux a Must-Have app.
The Disappointment Here is that the kernels provided with Android Phones by default don’t support 802.11 wireless injections, so unless some Android Developer for your phone develops a custom kernel with the aforesaid requirement, you can’t use this tool. However, there is a list of Android Devices which are officially maintained by Offensive Security for Active Development in Kali NetHunter. You can check it out using the button below!
2. zANTI: Mobile Penetration & Security Analysis Toolkit
zANTI is a mobile penetration testing Hacking toolkit for android that helps you find out the amount of vulnerability of your WiFi network. The App interface is Simple and Fluid. zANTI Penetration Toolkit is very easy to use because of its simple UI. Thus it enables IT Security Administrators, Ethical Hackers, and other types of users to simulate and find out an advanced attacker that can get access to the network and thereby try to identify the malicious tools or techniques they can use in the dark side without being visible to compromise the corporate network.
If you are keen on learning about the security of your WiFi Network and various ways you can use it to protect yourself from hackers and other users, this app is a must-have for you!
3. Arcai.com’s NetCut
This app also has the same functionality as the WiFi Kill app. NetCut has been a popular app for the Windows platform, and Arcai recently launched it for the Android platform. The advantage it offers over WiFi Kill is that it can protect your WiFi from other NetCut Softwares, but such features require a paid subscription.
There are few things that we like about NetCut like one of the best thing is that It support from most basic Android version 2.3.3 Gingerbread to the latest Android versions. So if you are on one of the older versions, don’t worry; NetCut is there to save you. (Though we recommend you to get a new phone, man :P, because if you are in this article, you definitely are a tech freak)
And one more thing that we should definitely mention is that if anyone is trying to spoof you, NetCut has a defender running to save you.
Here are some of the features of NetCut:
- Track who is using your WiFi network
- Block if you see some Wrong activity
- You have full control to Block anyone on your WiFi network.
The UI of Arcai.com’s is better as compared to WiFi Kill, but the advertisements are quite annoying and are a disappointment, even though you are given a choice to opt for Premium Subscription.
4. WiFi WPS WPA Tester
The WiFi WPS WPA tester is developed by Saniorgl SRL and is the first app in the list that is available on the play store, making it one of the most popular WiFi Hacking Apps. The intention of the developer for making this app was to scan the vulnerabilities found in the WiFi Networks.
This app tests the connection to Access Points with WPS PIN, which is calculated using various algorithms like
- Zhao
- Belkin(root)
- FTE-xxx
- Dlink+1
- TrendNet
- Dlink
- Asus
- AiroconRealtek
- EasyBox Arcadyan
- Arris
Devices WITHOUT root permissions and with Android >= 5.0 (Lollipop) can connect with this app, but they CANNOT view the WEP-WPA-WPA2
Devices WITHOUT root permissions and with Android < 5.0 (Lollipop) CANNOT connect to this app, and they CANNOT view the WEP-WPA-WPA2
Just for a note, you will need a lot of patience. Try out this awesome app and crackdown some WiFi networks by directly downloading from the play store.

6. WiFi Analyzer
Now there might be a lot of Android apps that can help you enter into a WiFi network, but that process can be quite lengthy and time taking. It becomes absolutely frustrating to crack a network and ultimately find out that it is crowded and a very slow one.
So, WiFi Analyzer helps you to analyze the different types of WiFi networks that are available near you and makes graphs and data according to the network and data speeds and reliability.
By doing so, you can find a less crowded network with more data speed and spend your time cracking the best-suited network for you.
Download WiFi Analyzer from Google Play Store
7. WiFi Inspector
WiFi Inspector is a multi-tool intended for Computer Security professionals, Ethical Hackers, and other advanced users who wish to control and monitor the networks they own or have the permission to control over. Thus, basically, this app is a WiFi security audit tool and not exactly a Hacking App.
You will definitely need root to use this app. WiFi Inspector is similar to apps like WiFi kill and NetCut, but its UI is one of the best in similar apps. It can search for you how many people are connected to the network, and You can check their IP and what devices they are using it on. You can also block their Network usage directly from your app. It is so fast that in a few seconds, you get the complete list of the users.
The design is so simple, and that is the factor behind the smooth functioning of the app. The app supports many languages. The app can detect whatever device is connected to your network, whether it is a TV, laptop, Mobile, PS, XBOX, etc. You also get to know the MAC address and the Manufacturer of the devices connected.

8. WiFi Warden
This is not exactly a hacking app but let’s be honest, the ultimate goal in most cases is getting free internet, and this is what this app can help you with. This app lets you know if there are any open hotspots or WiFi passwords shared for any network in your area. In many cases, it will even help you figure out the WPS PINs of some routers.
In case your device is rooted, you can also view passwords of the WiFi networks that you have saved on your device. There are many other things that you can do with this app, and hence it is worthy of being included in the list.
9. Router Keygen
In most cases, whenever someone with little to no technical knowledge purchases an internet connection with a WiFi router or just a standalone WiFi router, they usually don’t bother about the password and other security settings. If this is the case with the WiFi networks in your area, this app will be very suitable. This is because this app can identify the WiFi routers of the neighborhood and generate the possible keys for them. However, you will need to try them one by one. It may be your lucky day!
10. WiFi Password
WiFi Password is basically a sharing app for WiFi. People from all around the world share the password of the WiFi Networks they have access to. According to the Play Store description, it has millions of WiFi available; we could not verify the same because of its unavailability in our area. Additionally, you can also share the network key of your WiFi and add it so that others can access it as well. You will also be able to see the WiFi app and know about the hotspots in your area.
Android is getting secure, and the tricks/apps that used to work earlier are may not working on newer versions of Android. However, you can check the apps that were popular a while back below:
11. Aircrack-ng
One of the most reliable and trusted apps by many Hackers. This app is also available on the Ubuntu platform and is widely used over there. Since Android and Ubuntu are both based on the Linux kernel, this app was thought off, designed, and ported by Android Developers and Enthusiasts at XDA Developers.
Running aircrack-ng on Android is not an issue, but where most people get stuck in finding a WiFi chipset that supports monitor mode.
What you’ll need:
- Rooted Android Device
- Computer with Ubuntu (or any other Linux distribution)
- USB OTG Adapter (micro USB to USB female cable)
- Wireless USB Adapter (This is the most important tool)
- Time and patience (Must, at any cost, don’t give up)
If you don’t know how to install Ubuntu, please search YouTube; you will find ample tutorials that are efficient, quite easy to follow.
12. Nmap
Nmap is a network security scanner that is available for various operating systems. It is also available for Android. Ethical Hackers use it for network exploitation and Finding Vulnerability. One of its advantages is that it works on both rooted and non-rooted phones. Like WiFi WPA WPS Tester, you get more features on rooted phones as compared to non-rooted ones. This is a great app for your Android device. This app helps in scanning networks for finding ports and system details, just like dSploit.
There are few features in NMAP that brought it here to this List like the flexibility, Portability, and many other factors like:
- Powerful
- Easy to use
- Open-source, so you get all the latest Updates fast free of cost
- It supports almost all devices
- Variety of options available
13. WiFi Kill
WiFi Kill is an open source app. This ethical hacking app is very similar to an app called net cut in Windows OS; this app can cut off anyone’s WiFi over your network. The simple and user-friendly interface makes this app very popular in this field. This app is handy when you have an open WiFi or WPA based WiFi network not protected by a strong password. You can cut off the WiFi of the intruder with just a few clicks on your device.
What makes this app great is that it is very easy to use, and even a Newbie can find it extremely easy to use owing to its lucid and interactive interface and easy-to-use tools. Using this app, you can also see what another user is browsing and downloading on your WiFi network. You can also monitor the amount of data being accessed by a particular user on the network. You can also find out the name of the company of a Particular victim using the same WiFi.
This app is extremely popular because of its simple and efficient UI.
Update: It seems like the app is taken down from the Google Play Store but it is still available on XDA.
14. WPS connect
When it comes to hacking WiFi, WPS connect comes in our mind because the ease it provides to the users to use this app is outstanding. If you are looking to check your WiFi network’s security, believe us, this one is a good choice, and you will love using it.
Most probably you will be successful as this app supports maximum no. of routers and that increases your probability of successfully breaking into a WiFi network. Using this app is as simple as it looks. Just download the app, and crack networks with vulnerabilities.
This app actually targets those networks which are easily vulnerable using some of the default PIN combos. Most routers are vulnerable, and if the user is a noob, the probability of you getting success becomes really high. As we already mentioned, this article is for educational purposes only, so don’t try to hack your neighbor’s WiFi, or you can be in trouble. However, you can check the security of your own WiFi using these apps.
And this app definitely needs root access and if your device isn’t rooted, you can root it easily. Just search for ‘How to root <Your Device’s Name>’ and you will get many tutorials.
Download WiFi WPS Connect - Google Play
15. Arpspoof
Arpspoof was written as a part of the dsniff package. The author Dug Song has ensured further development of his app by making it open source. This app is mainly written for network auditing. The app works on a simple mechanism. What it does is redirects the packets on a local network by broadcasting spoofed ARP messages. Arpspoof also displays the packets that the victims are sending to the device, but it doesn’t save them. Arpspoof tries to redirect the traffic found on a local network with the help of a mechanism called “Faking ARP replies” and sending them back to a specific victim or all the hosts found.
The disappointment here is that the UI of the app seems very outdated.
16. Network Spoofer
Like dSploit, Network Spoofer lets you change websites on other people’s computers or phones or any other internet accessing device from an Android Phone. This is not a WiFi Password accessing or changing tool or a Hacking tool but a spoofing tool. After downloading, all you have to do is log onto a WiFi network, select a type of spoof to use, and then press the start. Even though this is not exactly a type of penetration testing tool, but it can still show you how difficult or easy it can be to hack a particular network with your Android Smartphone.
17. WIBR+
WIBR+ was also created for testing the integrity and security of WiFi networks. This App uses Brute force and Dictionary Based methods to help you and answer questions like “How to Hack WiFi networks”. You can also use custom dictionary methods to attack and find WiFi passwords. Depending upon your priority and network type, you can choose different options such as numbers, lowercase, uppercase, and special characters – for performing a different dictionary-based attack. Depending upon your password strength, WIBR+ takes time to crack the password, so this a Face Down for this app.
18. dSploit
Similar to WiFi WPA WPS Tester, dSploit is also made for finding out Vulnerabilities in the WiFi Networks; in other words, it is a WiFi penetration testing suite. This app also helps in analyzing and controlling your network and all other types of information.
What gives this app an advantage over others is that you can hack other people’s WiFi and control the devices connected to the same WiFi network.
Features that dSploit Offers is:
- WiFi Cracking
- Router PWN
- Trace
- Port Scanner (scan the ports)
- Inspector
- Vulnerability finder
- Login cracker
- Packet forgery (Change the data packets in between)
- Man in the middle (Decide the data packets you want to send)
- Simple sniff (Steal Victim’s Data from the phone)
- Password sniff (ability to view or steal passwords from the victim’s device)
- Session Hijacker (Full control over victim’s Device)
- Kill connections (Disable usage of data packets, thereby killing the connection)
- Redirect to any particular URL of the attacker’s choice
- Replace images (pop up images/replace them with the ones being viewed)
- Replace videos (pop up videos/replace them with the ones being played)
- Script injector (run random page scripts)
- Custom filter
These extra features give this app an advantage over others, but some users find it difficult to use and is not updated anymore.

The list includes the apps that can help you gain access over a network, but this list will also help you find out the various ways you can use to protect and increase the security of your WiFi network up to the best possible limits.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Is WiFi Hacking Illegal?
Yes, any type of hacking done for illicit purposes is illegal and can also put in a lot of trouble. The only case when the hacking is legal is when you are trying to improve a system’s security (with permission). It can be either with your system, other peoples’ system with permission, or you may be hired as a security engineer.
Does WiFi Hacker really work?
Yes, but there are a lot of variables you need to consider here. First, let’s be clear on the thing that not all WiFi networks can be hacked. Let’s say, for example, a router running WEP key security can easily be hacked, and the ones using the latest WPA2 key security is tough to get into. As a security researcher, it is your job to find the vulnerability in a system and then try to penetrate it using proper tools.
Is it possible to get Free WiFi?
Yes, of course. There are many open networks and hotspots that allow users to surf the internet free of cost. But the only challenge is whether you will be able to find one or not in your area. That is why we have shared some apps that lists the available as free and private WiFi Networks in your area. Make sure to check them out!
Do I Need a Rooted Android Phone to Use WiFi Hacking Apps?
If you want to perform some tasks that need system-level access, you will need root-level access. But for some of the basic WiFi security analysis tools, you can get away without a non-rooted Android phone. However, we will strongly recommend you rooting your android device if you want to take full advantage of these apps’ feature set.
How can I see Saved WiFi Password on my Android Mobile?
To do this, you will first need a rooted android device. After that, some apps mentioned in this article, like WiFi Warden, will help you see the saved password of WiFi Networks on your phone. (Source: techrrivals)
