Security researcher Besim Altinok has created a Python script, PiKarma that helps to identify WiFi networks that are carrying KARMA (Karma Attacks Radioed Machines Automatically) attacks, a well known form of WiFi Man in the Middle attacks.
"PiKarma allows users to test WiFi networks and determine if the WiFi network in a certain location is safe to use before carrying out any sensitive communications over them. If the script detects a KARMA attack, it logs details and then automatically sends a deauth request, disconnecting the user from the malicious network."
The only downside is that user will need an extra WiFi card. That is needed to keep an eye on the main one.
