Wifi Hotspot

• Create an AP (Access Point) with password encryption and internet connection.
• Choose one of the following encryptions: WPA, WPA2, WPA/WPA2, Open (no encryption).
• Hide your SSID.
• Disable communication between clients (client isolation).
• Enable IEEE 802.11n & 802.11ac modes support
• Internet sharing methods: NATed or Bridged or None (no Internet sharing).
• Choose the AP Gateway IP (only for 'NATed' and 'None' Internet sharing methods).
• You can create an AP with the same interface you are getting your Internet connection.
• Customise wifi Channel, Change MAC address, etc.

Dependencies

• bash (to run this script)
• util-linux (for getopt)
• procps or procps-ng
• hostapd
• iproute2
• iw
• iwconfig (you only need this if 'iw' can not recognize your adapter)
• haveged (optional)

Dependencies for 'NAT' or 'None' Internet sharing method

• dnsmasq
• iptables

sudo apt install -y libgtk-3-dev build-essential gcc g++ pkg-config make hostapd libqrencode-dev libpng-dev

Usage

create_ap <interface> <interface-with-internet> <SSID> <passphrase>

No passphrase (open network)

create_ap wlan0 eth0 HelloWorld

This will create an open network with SSID "HelloWorld" on wlan0.

WPA/WPA2 passphrase

create_ap wlan0 eth0 HelloWorld 12345678

This will create a WPA/WPA2 network with SSID "HelloWorld" and passphrase "12345678" on wlan0.

AP without Internet sharing

create_ap -n wlan0 HelloWorld 12345678

Bridged Internet sharing

create_ap -m bridge wlan0 eth0 HelloWorld 12345678

Choose a different WiFi adapter driver

create_ap --driver rtl871xdrv wlan0 eth0 HelloWorld 12345678

Enable IEEE 802.11n

create_ap --ieee80211n --ht_capab '[HT40+]' wlan0 eth0 HelloWorld 12345678

Client Isolation

create_ap --isolate-clients wlan0 eth0 HelloWorld 12345678
