What is this?
fsociety is a penetration testing toolkit that bundles dozens of existing hacking tools (Nmap, sqlmap, WPScan, Reaver, etc.) behind one menu-driven script, inspired by the tools used in the 'Mr. Robot' TV series.
Is this a single tool or a collection of existing ones?
It is a menu-driven framework that wraps many separate open-source security tools, organized into categories like Information Gathering, Password Attacks, Wireless Testing, Exploitation Tools, Sniffing & Spoofing, Web Hacking and Post Exploitation - it doesn't reimplement the tools itself.
How do I install and run it?
Follow the Linux installation steps in the README; Android users can install it via Termux, and a Docker/Docker-compose setup is also provided for running it in a container.
Does it need Python 3?
No, fsociety is built for Python 2; the author points users who want Python 3 support to the separate fsociety-team/fsociety project instead.
Does it run natively on Windows?
Not out of the box - on Windows you need a Linux-like shell such as Cygwin, or you can run it through Google Cloud Shell or a free Ubuntu VPS.
What is the Mr. Robot connection?
The project groups together all the hacking tools referenced in the Mr. Robot TV series into one toolkit, which is also where its name comes from.
What kind of tools come bundled with it?
It includes tools like Nmap, WPScan, sqlmap, Reaver, Commix, BruteX, Arachni, SSLstrip and many others covering recon, password attacks, wireless testing, exploitation, web hacking and post-exploitation.
Is there a graphical interface?
No, it is a text menu run from the terminal - you pick a category and tool number to launch the corresponding script.
Is this project actively maintained?
The README itself redirects users to a newer Python 3 rewrite (fsociety-team/fsociety), suggesting this original Python 2 version is largely legacy.
