Wifislax is a Linux distribution focused on WiFi security, based on Slax and the whole production upon the BackTrack distribution, which provides a set of tools, drivers, and functionalities with every needed test in the field of wireless security that can be conducted.

The main aim of Wifislax is to enable its users, both professional and home users, to check the level of security in WiFi deployments by employing different tests and reviews provided by the incorporated applications.

One of the most exciting and valuable aspects of Wifislax is the set of incorporated drivers which support the chipsets in the wireless cards used in the devices, for instance, the ipw2200 drivers, the r73 in the USB cards with chipset ratlink, or the rt61 in the new PCI, which lack of support in other distributions. Besides, both menus and tools have been translated into Spanish, which is very important when being operated by beginner users.

BackTrack tools are organized into these groups:

• Blue-tooth.
• Chipset.
• Current and Classic Suite.
• Wireless.
• Networks Security and Assistance.
• Encryption.
• Complements.
• Browsers.

Wifislax brings many possibilities when testing different aspects of WiFi security, access password quality, MAC change, wireless configuration, automatic connection, networks cookbook, decryption, Bluetooth scanner, etc.

As it is developed for BackTrack, Wifislax includes all the tools in this distribution, besides broadening those related to wireless and Bluetooth in terms of number and functionality. Although a command console operates most tools, graphic launchers, translated into English for a better understanding and usage, are also included.
