Discussion around the legality of issues is ok, encouraging or aiding illegal activities is not Hacking can be a grey area but keep it above board. 'TeenagerĪrrested in Computer Crime Scandal', 'Hacker Arrested after Bank Tampering'. Guides and tutorials are welcome here as long as they are suitably complex and most importantly legal!īans are handed out at moderator discretion.Īnother one got caught today, it's all over the papers. This sub is aimed at those with an understanding of hacking - please visit /r/HowToHack for posting beginner links and tutorials any beginner questions should be directed there as they will result in a ban here. What we are about: quality and constructive discussion about the culture, profession and love of hacking. See the video version of this howto.A subreddit dedicated to hacking and hacking culture. The tool will automatically crack the password for you as shown below. Browse to the dictionary file we want to choose as shown below.Ĭlick on “Wifi attack” tab. It will show all the available WPA enabled networks.Ĭlick on the wifi network whose password we want to crack( in my case “shunya”). Since we want to hack a WPA enabled wifi network, click on WPA tab. The tool will search for available access points as shown below.

Click on the tab “Scan for access points”. So today we are learn cracking WPA/WPA2 passwords using a GUI tool also inbuilt in Kali Linux, Fern Wifi cracker. They are by far considered most secure for Wifi networks. Both can be configured to use counter cipher block chaining mode(CCM) though.

The only difference between WPA and WPA2 is that they use Rivest Cipher(RC4) and Advanced Encryption Standard(AES) encryption algorithms respectively. Both WPA and WPA2 use temporal key integrity protocol(TKIP) for encryption and pre-shared key(PSK) authentication. WPA uses 128 bit key and 48 bit initialization vector while WEP uses 108 bit key with 24 bit initialization vector. It eliminates all known vulnerabilities in WEP(Wired Equivalent Privacy). It is an encryption system to secure WLAN networks. But that needed lot of commands to be typed.Īs already explained, WPA stands for Wifi Protected Access. In a previous howto, we saw cracking wpa / wpa2 using aircrack, a tool inbuilt in Kali Linux.
