The first step is to change the mode of the wireless interface from the default of managed mode to monitor mode.
Hashcat: The latest version can be downloaded from also already installed in Kali Linux but will need to install the latest drivers for your graphics card also it can’t be running in a virtual machine as you don’t get the full capabilities of the graphics card. The main thing to look out for when buying a USB wifi adapter for hacking/Pentesting is that it’s running an Atheros chipset.Īircrack-ng Suite: The latest version can be downloaded from if you are running Kali Linux a version of the aircrack-ng suit will already be installed. I have also had a lot of success using a TP-Link TL-WN722N this is a great little dongle for the price but the Alfa is the better adapter. Wireless adapter: This needs to be capable of running in monitor mode, I am currently using an Alfa AWUS036NHA USB adapter, You can purchase one of these through my Amazon affiliate link here everything made from this goes back into Hemp Tutorials to help keep the lights on. I’ll be using the aircrack-ng suite of tools to capture the 4-way handshake\wireless password and then the power of Hashcat to crack the wireless password using the graphics card built into my laptop to speed up the whole process. We can then capture the password at this time and attempt to crack it. When a client authenticates to an access point the client and the access point go through a 4 step process to authenticate the user to the access point.
The weakness in WPA/WPA2 wireless passwords is that the encrypted password is shared in what is known as a 4-way handshake. This I hope will be part of a new series of tutorials dedicated to hacking wireless networks. In this tutorial, I will show you how to capture and then crack WPA/WPA2 Wireless passwords.
