This tool requires one to connect to a Wi-Fi whose router is pentested. Therefore, figuring out the router's IP address in the network (Local Area Network) is a must.
In Windows, you can open Command Prompt (CMD) then execute ipconfig
to see router's IP address.
- Click the Wi-Fi symbol on the menu bar.
- Click Network Preferences.
- On the Wi-Fi tab, click Advanced button.
- Press on TCP/IP tab, your Wi-Fi router IP address will be listed under the Router.
Based on this answer on StackOverflow, try one of these commands :
netstat -nr | awk '$1 == "0.0.0.0"{print$2}'
ip route show | grep -i 'default via'| awk '{print $3 }'
The output should look like 192.168.1.1
that indicates the Internet Gateway of your Local Area Network (Wi-Fi).
Here is some routers' IP addresses :

"Why most of them starts with 192.168.XXX.XXX ?", "Also why 10.XXX.XXX.XXX ?"
According to RFC 1918, The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA), an organization that controls global IP address allocation, DNS management, and other Internet-related things, has reserved the following three blocks of the IP address space for private internets:
- 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 (10/8 prefix)
- 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 (172.16/12 prefix)
- 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 (192.168/16 prefix)
By the way, RFC that stands for Request for Comments, is simply a kind of a standard of the Internet published by IETF.
