Crack Wi-Fi networks that are secured using weak passwords. It is not exhaustive, but it should be enough information for you to test your own network's security or break into one nearby. Begin by listing wireless interfaces that support monitor mode. If you do not see an interface listed then your wireless card does not support monitor mode. Start listening to 802.11 Beacon frames broadcast by nearby wireless routers using your monitor interface. WPA/WPA2 uses a 4-way handshake to authenticate devices to the network. You don't have to know anything about what that means, but you do have to capture one of these handshakes in order to crack the network password. These handshakes occur whenever a device connects to the network. The final step is to crack the password using the captured handshake. If you have access to a GPU, it is highly recommended to use hashcat for password cracking.

Features

  • Capture a 4-way Handshake and crack Network passwords
  • Use airodump-ng to monitor a specific access point until you see a client connected
  • You can also try your hand at CPU cracking with Aircrack-ng
  • Aircrack-ng can be used for very basic dictionary attacks running on your CPU
  • If the password is cracked you will see a KEY FOUND! message in the terminal followed by the plain text version of the network password
  • You can optionally broadcast deauth packets to all connected clients
