New Kali linux is on the way. Keep backtrack safe. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) and Wi-Fi Protected Access II (WPA2) are two security protocols and security certification programs developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance to secure wireless computer networks. The Alliance defined these in response to serious weaknesses researchers had found in the previous system, WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy).

Wifi Hacking Tricks And Tips

Requirements:

  • Wireless card (support promiscuous mode)
  • Access point with WPA2 and WPS enables
  • Kali Linux

Steps To Crack WPA 2 Wifi Password

  1. Open our terminal (CTRL+ALT+T) and type airmon-ngthis command will lists our wireless card that attached with our system.
  2. The next step we need to stop our wireless monitor mode by running airmon-ng stop wlan0
  3. Now we ready to capture the wireless traffic around us. By running airodump-ng wlan0 our wireless interface will start capturing the data.
    Information:
    BSSID (Basic Service Set Identification): the MAC address of access point
    PWR: Signal level reported by the card.
    Beacons: Number of announcements packets sent by the AP
    # Data: Number of captured data packets (if WEP, unique IV count), including data broadcast packets.
    #/s: Number of data packets per second measure over the last 10 seconds.
    CH: Channel number (taken from beacon packets).
    MB: Maximum speed supported by the AP. If MB = 11, it’s 802.11b, if MB = 22 it’s 802.11b+ and higher rates are 802.11g.
    ENC: Encryption algorithm in use.
    CIPHER: The cipher detected. TKIP is typically used with WPA and CCMP is typically used with WPA2.
    AUTH: The authentication protocol used.
    ESSID: Shows the wireless network name. The so-called “SSID”, which can be empty if SSID hiding is activated.
  1. From the step 3 above, we can find access point with encryption algorithm WPA2 and note the AP channel number. Now find out whether target AP has WPS enabled or not.

    wash -i wlan0 -c 8 -C -s

    if the WPS Locked status is No, then we ready to crack and move to step

  2. The last step is cracking the WPA2 password using reaver.

    reaver -i <your_interface> -b <wi-fi victim MAC address> –fail-wait=360

    Because we already get the information from step 3 above, so my command look like this:

    reaver -i wlan0 -b E0:05:C5:5A:26:94 –fail-wait=360

    it takes hours to crack 20 characters WPA2 password depend with our hardware and wireless card.

Note: Wireless Security Tips

  1. WPA and WPA2 security implemented without using the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) feature are unaffected by the security vulnerability.
  2. To prevent this attack, just turn off our WPS/QSS feature on our access point.
