I am currently writing a hacking software in Python (tkinter) that hacks scripts and looks for wireless devices… But it’s fake!! It only pretends to do stuff and has nice graphics but it’s like those websites that pretend you’re hacking. Would that be nice?? And it’s open source too, so it will not harm anyone.
I don’t want to harm anyone… >~< I don’t like hacking!!! But my fake project is fun and cute!!
You can test your tool within your own network.
Hacking software is always two sided. Blue team and red team both need it. Besides anything you make when you’re starting off isn’t going to compare to what’s already out there. I mean, if you’re making a pineapple, I can’t think of many legit reasons for that, but he’s just suggesting trying to make a Wireshark clone which would teach a lot if you’re interested in networking.
That said, it’s your project, and as long as you’re having fun and pushing yourself, that’s only good!
