v8.0.0 - Leviathan: The Offensive Intelligence Update

---

This is the largest and most significant update in the history of the WiFi Pineapple HCX Toolkit. Version 8.0.0, codenamed "Leviathan", marks the evolution of this project from a collection of powerful tools into a fully integrated, intelligent, and automated offensive framework. We have moved beyond simple data collection and analysis; this release introduces a decision-support system for network warfare, designed to maximize operational efficiency and provide unprecedented situational awareness.

The toolkit no longer just shows you data; it tells you what to do with it. It doesn't just wait for your command; it automates the entire attack chain. Welcome to the next generation of WiFi security assessment.

🧠 The Strategic Intelligence Engine: From Data to Dominance

At the heart of "Leviathan" is a new intelligence engine that transforms raw captures into actionable, strategic advice.

• --mode recommend (Strategic Recommendation Engine): The toolkit now thinks. It analyzes the tactical situation within your captures—evaluating PMKID-to-EAPOL ratios, PII presence, and network density—to provide a prioritized list of high-probability attack vectors. It tells you where to strike next for maximum effect.
• --mode trends (Historical Trend Analysis): Enable persistent surveillance. The analyzer now tracks device history in its database, reporting on newly discovered assets, devices that have gone dark, and recent security breaches, providing a deep understanding of the target environment's rhythm and changes over time.
• --utility find-reuse-targets (Credential Reuse Exploitation): Uncover one of the most critical, yet often overlooked, vulnerabilities. The engine automatically cross-references cracked passwords against all uncracked networks that share the same ESSID, generating a precise targeting list for lateral movement across a corporate wireless infrastructure.

⚙️ Full-Spectrum Automation: The Autonomous Operator

Execute complex, multi-stage workflows with "fire-and-forget" commands and receive results autonomously.

• --post-job (Chainable Job Queue): Automate the entire engagement. A capture job can now automatically trigger a full analysis, dashboard generation, or data exfiltration upon completion, turning the Pineapple into an autonomous offensive platform.
• --monitor & Push Notifications (Automated C2 Callbacks): The hunt is now autonomous. When paired with a remote cracking server, the analyzer monitors for breaches in real-time. The moment a password is cracked, it sends a secure push notification via ntfy or Discord directly to you. You no longer check for results; the toolkit reports its victories to you.

⚔️ The Advanced Offensive Suite: Surgical & Evasive

Execute more precise, effective, and stealthy attacks.

• --hunt-adaptive (Adaptive Deauthentication): A new surgical attack mode that performs reconnaissance to identify and target only active clients for deauthentication. It's a smarter attack that maximizes handshake capture success while dramatically reducing network noise and the chance of detection.
• --random-mac (Evasion & Anonymity): Assume a randomized, untraceable hardware identity before going active on the network. The original MAC is securely stored and automatically restored upon mission completion, leaving no trace of your hardware.

📊 Total Situational Awareness & Data Management

Visualize the battlefield, manage operational data, and overcome hardware limitations.

• --utility generate-dashboard (HTML Dashboard): A professional, one-click reporting utility that fuses all collected intelligence—cracked credentials, network maps, PII, and GPS tracks—into a single, self-contained HTML dashboard.
• --tag (Session Management): A full session management system. Tag captures with an operational identifier and use the same tag in the analyzer to focus only on data from a specific engagement.
• --utility cloud-sync (Cloud Data Exfiltration): Integrates rclone for robust, two-way synchronization of captures and results with a configured cloud provider, overcoming the storage limitations of the embedded device.
• --utility setup-remote (Turnkey Deployment): An interactive wizard that fully automates the configuration of a remote analysis server, from SSH key exchange to dependency installation.

✅ Quality & Reliability

• Full Documentation Overhaul: All .md files (README, INSTALLATION, FAQ, etc.) have been completely rewritten to reflect the new capabilities.
• POSIX Compliance Hardening: All new features have been meticulously hardened for strict POSIX compliance, resolving multiple bash-specific syntax errors to ensure flawless execution on the WiFi Pineapple's ash shell.

This release is the culmination of intensive development aimed at creating the most powerful and intelligent WiFi assessment platform available for the WiFi Pineapple. We encourage you to explore these new capabilities and experience the next level of operational efficiency.
