Hi there, please include a copy of the full session from the terminal to help debug.

I've followed all the steps, but @ last execution got that lines

This exception is thrown when you don't use the official python installer for OSX as mentioned in the README.

I got around it by doing this

/usr/bin/pip3 install -r requirements.txt
/usr/bin/python3 WiFiCrackPy.py

I've tried running WiFiCrackPy using the official Python installer from python.org (not Homebrew or a version manager), but I still get the same error. The script can't retrieve BSSID values (they show up as None), so when it tries to run zizzania, it fails with the expected str, bytes or os.PathLike object, not NoneType error.

It seems like recent macOS versions restrict access to Wi-Fi details like BSSID/SSID, even when using the official Python package. Has anyone found a reliable workaround for this, or is this just a limitation of CoreWLAN on newer macOS?
