How To Hack Wi-Fi
Network:
Note : Only For Educational Purpose.>!!!
1) First we need to scan for available wireless networks.
Theres this great tool for windows to do this.. called “NetStumbler” or Kismet
for Windows and Linux and KisMac for Mac.
The two most common encryption types are:
1) WEP
2) WAP
WEP i.e Wire Equivalent Privacy is not consideres as safe as WAP
i.e Wireless Application Protocol.
WEP have many flaws that allows a hacker to crack a WEP key easily..
whereas
WAP is currently the most secure and best option to secure a wi-fi network..
It can’t be easily cracked as WEP because the only way to retreive a WAP key
is to use a brute-force attack or dictionary atack.
Here I’ll tell you how to Crack WEP
To crack WEP we will be using Live Linux distribution called BackTrack to
crack WEP.
BackTrack have lots of preinstalled softwares for this very purpose..
The tools we will be using on Backtrack are:
Kismet – a wireless network detector
airodump – captures packets from a wireless router
aireplay – forges ARP requests
aircrack – decrypts the WEP keys
1) First of all we have to find a wireless access point along with its bssid, essid
and channel number. To do this we will run kismet by opening up the terminal
and typing in kismet. It may ask you for the appropriate adapter which in my
case is ath0. You can see your device’s name by typing in the command
iwconfig.
2) To be able to do some of the later things, your wireless adapter must be put
into monitor mode. Kismet automatically does this and as long as you keep it
open, your wireless adapter will stay in monitor mode
3) In kismet you will see the flags Y/N/0. Each one stands for a different type
of encryption. In our case we will be looking for access points with the WEP
encryption. Y=WEP N=OPEN 0=OTHER(usually WAP).
4) Once you find an access point, open a text document and paste in the
networks broadcast name (essid), its mac address (bssid) and its channel
number. To get the above information, use the arrow keys to select an access
point and hit <ENTER> to get more information about it.
5) The next step is to start collecting data from the access point with
airodump. Open up a new terminal and start airodump by typing in the
command:
airodump-ng -c [channel#] -w [filename] –bssid [bssid] [device]
In the above command airodump-ng starts the program, the channel of your
access point goes after -c , the file you wish to output the data goes after -w ,
and the MAC address of the access point goes after –bssid. The command ends
with the device name. Make sure to leave out the brackets.
6) Leave the above running and open another terminal. Next we will generate
some fake packets to the target access point so that the speed of the data
output will increase. Put in the following command:
aireplay-ng -1 0 -a [bssid] -h 00:11:22:33:44:55:66 -e [essid] [device]
In the above command we are using the airplay-ng program. The -1 tells the
program the specific attack we wish to use which in this case is fake
authentication with the access point. The 0 cites the delay between attacks, -a
is the MAC address of the target access point, -h is your wireless adapters MAC
address, -e is the name (essid) of the target access point, and the command
ends with the your wireless adapters device name.
7) Now, we will force the target access point to send out a huge amount of
packets that we will be able to take advantage of by using them to attempt to
crack the WEP key. Once the following command is executed, check your
airodump-ng terminal and you should see the ARP packet count to start to
increase. The command is:
aireplay-ng -3 -b [bssid] -h 00:11:22:33:44:5:66 [device]
In this command, the -3 tells the program the specific type of attack which in
this case is packet injection, -b is the MAC address of the target access point, -h
is your wireless adapters MAC address, and the wireless adapter device name
goes at the end.
Once you have collected around 50k-500k packets, you may begin the
attempt to break the WEP key. The command to begin the cracking process is:
aircrack-ng -a 1 -b [bssid] -n 128 [filename].ivs
In this command the -a 1 forces the program into the WEP attack mode, the -b
is the targets MAC address, and the -n 128 tells the program the WEP key
length. If you don’t know the -n , then leave it out. This should crack the WEP
key within seconds. The more packets you capture, the bigger chance you
have of cracking the WEP key.
