I am currently writing a hacking software in Python (tkinter) that hacks scripts and looks for wireless devices… But it’s fake!! It only pretends to do stuff and has nice graphics but it’s like those websites that pretend you’re hacking. Would that be nice?? And it’s open source too, so it will not harm anyone.
Yes, that is a good beginner project if you’re learning Python.
It has a lot of flexibility in scale, scope and presentation and bugs don’t matter much. This makes it easier to make progress as you can just drop or change parts that are too big, complex or hard right now. It also has a tangible visual output, which is motivating.
Don’t worry about it being confused for any real hacking tool. Legit hackers can tell at a glance - even if you were to try your best to pretend it’s real :) Labeling it “toy” or “fake” will make it clear for anyone else.
Go for it! Have fun!

I used to love the interactive ones where it really gives the impression for yourself too that you’re hacking, so if it’s complicated and fake-functional enough it might be something.
Dunno why anyone would want to downvote this, but here’s back up to 1. 😜

Looked through the posts and might be the tone and double question marks, but they’re using the communities for the intended purpose and it’s nice seeing someone excited, curious and passionate
