I know a lot of you out there would love to know how to hack or crack Wi-Fi passwords from coffee shops or just about any place with managed or secured network.
Note: We do not encourage hacking on Wi-Fi networks without permission. Do it only for testing or for securing your own network.
I've already featured several hacking software (and more hacking tools) before, and some of which can help you crack Wi-Fi passwords be it WEP or WPA protected. This time, I'm going to share with you some of my favorite wireless tools that can be used to hack Wi-Fi password using Ubuntu or any other Linux distribution:
Aircrack-ng
Aircrack-ng (a fork of aircrack) is my main tool for cracking Wi-Fi passwords. It has a wireless network detector, a packet sniffer, WEP and WPA/WPA2-PSK cracker, and an analysis tool for 802.11 wireless LANs. Aircrack-ng works with any wireless card whose driver supports raw monitoring mode and can sniff 802.11a, 802.11b and 802.11g traffic.

Kismet
Kismet is a really good network detector, packet sniffer, and intrusion detection system for 802.11 wireless LANs. It will work with any wireless card which supports raw monitoring mode, and can sniff 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n traffic. Kismet works in passive mode, which means it is capable of detecting the presence of both wireless access points and wireless clients without sending any loggable packets.
SWScanner
SWScanner is specifically designed to make the whole wardriving process a lot easier. It is also intended to manage many tasks related to wireless networking. SWScanner is compatible with NetStumbler files and can be integrated with GPS devices.

These are only three of the many wireless tools that can get you going in no time, so feel free to explore.
I don't want to give a step-by-step instruction just yet on how to hack or crack WiFi password using Ubuntu, but for a little inspiration, I'll share with you a YouTube video that pretty much illustrate the process of using those Wi-Fi hacking software:

Happy WiFi hacking. But again, be responsible and do it only for testing or if you have permission.

Nice share BTW
That makes a secure, authenticaded, driver independent, wifi -> ethernet bridge.
The drawback is that you must have OpenVPN client on the clients (Windows, Linux or Mac).
this was an attack on a WEP secured net. The BT tools have some nice graphical interfaces.
I would have loved to see an (successful) attack on a WPA2 secured networked. :-)
(also, the issue I have is that once I switch off my wifi, a necessary first step, then I can no longer read all of the online documentation!)
Never heard of MAC spoofing?
MAC spoofing: OK the attacker can fake a MAC address. But how can he know the list of authorized MAC addresses configured in my router?
The best protection is wep2+mac+disable wifi when you don't need it, IMO.
Any help?
yum -y install swscanner dont works
thabks... -mhonsai
That was really helpful.
Asif
- 2 versions commVier one for Whists another for ХР both with crack
- 3 versions aircrack
- The huge dictionary for breaking WPA and WEP
- Video the instruction as all should work
The archive was 34 Mb before unpacking and 87 after (a move compression)
