View Tips and Tricks How To Create Keyboard Shortcut On Kali Linux

This document provides instructions for cracking a WPA2 password using airodump-ng, wash, and reaver on Kali Linux. It explains how to use airodump-ng to capture wireless traffic and view access point information. It then describes using wash to check if WPS is enabled for the target access point and reaver to crack the password if WPS is enabled, which can take hours depending on hardware. It concludes that disabling WPS prevents this attack and provides a screenshot of disabling WPS in an access point configuration.

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.

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

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

Information:

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.
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.

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 (vishnuvalentino.com) from my

Kali virtualBox, but it depend with our hardware and wireless card.

Conclusions:

1. WPA and WPA2 security implemented without using the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)

feature are unaffected by the security vulnerability.

2. To prevent this attack, just turn off our WPS/QSS feature on our access point. See picture

below (I only have the Chinese version )
