This article is an excerpt from my for aspiring WiFi hackers and Wireless security enthusiasts. To learn more In this chapter we will cover: • Intro to WPA2 • What is Dictionary attack? • Capturing WPA2 handshake • Aireplay-ng • Cracking • Conclusion In the we learned • Which left us with an obvious question, How to secure it? Use WPA2-PSK.

It also contains every word. Here are the results of cracking LinkedIn's and eHarmony's password hash leaks with the list. The list is responsible for cracking. How to crack WPA passwords with aircrack-ng and crunch/john the ripper - Duration: 20:58.

WPA2-PSK, WiFi Protected Access – Pre Shared Key, is by far one of the most secure and unbroken wireless security encryption at this moment. There is no encryption flaw yet reported by security researchers for WPA2, so that a malicious hacker can easily take advantage of and easily decrypt packets. Encryption might be the most secured and unbroken at this point, but WPA2 system is still pretty vulnerable to the hackers. Unlike WEP, WPA2 uses a 4-way handshake as an authentication process. In which the key is never transmitted over the network but used to encrypt/decrypt the data packets across the network.

That allows a hacker to just capture the handshake and perform the attack without Live capturing data packets as we did while.

Which allows a potential hacker to capture the plaintext information like • Access point MAC address • Client MAC address • ESSID – AP Name Information above is used by the hacker to perform a dictionary attack on the captured 4-way handshake (PCAP File). Let’s see • What is a dictionary attack? • How to perform dictionary attack on WPA2-PSK What is a dictionary attack?

Redline Rumble 4 Ignitro City more. Hashing is one of the keys used in the security field professional to protect the users from the malicious attackers. Hash is simply a cryptographic function that converts a data or file of an arbitrary length or size to a fixed length, which is considered practically impossible to invert or reversed, as no key is involved in the process.

A Hash is always unique In a dictionary attack, • We create/use a wordlist (text file of possible passwords) • Take a word at a moment from the wordlist • Create its hash using the Hash function, PBKDF2 for WPA2 • Compare the output value with the existing hash. • If value matches, password taken from the wordlist is the correct password Above steps are involved in the WPA2 passphrase cracking process. Let’s begin, Step 1: Start monitor mode $ ifconfig wlan1 #Check whether card is detected $ sudo airmon-ng check kill #Kill process causing issues • sudo airmon-ng start wlan1 #Start monitor mode Final output should look like this: Step 2: Start capture, airodump-ng We will now start airodump-ng to sniff the air and wait until the desired AP and corresponding client are displayed. • airodump-ng wlan1mon As you can see in the above image, “ rootsh3ll” is the victim AP. We will now note the information highlighted • AP (ESSID): rootsh3ll • AP MAC (BSSID): 64:66:B3:6E:B0:8A • Client MAC: 30:A8:DB:C6:88:13 • Channel: 11 Hit CTRL-C, and kill airodump-ng. Now, we will start airodump-ng exclusively to capture packets associated with “rootsh3ll” and save the 4-way handshake in a PCAP file, say rootsh3ll Step 3: Start airodump-ng exclusively • airodump-ng –bssid 64:66:B3:6E:B0:8A -c 11 wlan1mon -w rootsh3ll Here “ rootsh3ll” is the output filename provided to the -w parameter Step 4: Disconnect the client with aireplay-ng.

Whether in our case, option 2 is just perfect as we have a client connected to the wireless AP “rootsh3ll”. How does that work? We use a utility from the aircrack-ng suite named aireplay-ng which allows us to craft and send a disconnect request to the desired AP with the information we noted down earlier. We are actually abusing a legitimate Windows(or any other OS) feature.

Which forces the wireless card to re connect to the AP when available. In the second option we are actually making sure that option 1 happens, so that we can capture the handshake. • Client disconnects when receives the disconnect packet. • Reconnect to the AP • 4-way handshake between AP and client • Hacker captures the 4-way handshake let’s disconnect the client now, Open a new Terminal window and type: • aireplay-ng –deauth 5 -a 64:66:B3:6E:B0:8A wlan1mon parameters applied: –deauth 5: 5 deauth requests broadcasted with BSSID “rootsh3ll”, 0 for endless -a: parameter to tell aireplay-ng the BSSID wlan1mon: monitor mode interface Step 5: Capture the handshake Meanwhile in the terminal window of airodump-ng, you would notice the top of the output. Which says • WPA Handshake: 64:66:B3:6E:B0:8A Which simply means that the WPA handshake has been capture for the specific BSSID, which is the AP MAC of rootsh3ll.
