## Description

wlan-sec-test-tool is a collection of specialized wireless security tools designed for scanning access points, auditing WPA, WPA2, and WPA3 security, and performing automated password cracking and connection testing. It functions as a wireless network scanner, a password cracker, and a security auditor to evaluate wireless protocol vulnerabilities.

The tool differentiates itself through the use of a concurrent connection tester that executes multiple simultaneous connection attempts. It utilizes custom password lists and dictionary-based iteration to verify wireless network security and determine if networks can be accessed unauthorized.

The project covers broader capabilities in wireless discovery, including access point information capture and encryption standard detection. It also provides network interface configuration and connection status monitoring to manage wireless adapters during security analysis.
