Hacking Wireless.

how to crack password in a wireless router?

(of a network, not router's).

using aircrack-ng tool suite, for example.

we need also a computer with wireless network card that can go into 'monitor mode'.

this tutorial shows how, with kali linux pc (Paco):

---

first we turn on network card's monitor mode.




then we start 'sniffing' for data with airodump-ng tool.






we have to provide a dictionary file, either script-generated or downloaded.

if we want to use letter/digit/word/syllable combinations or something similar, we have to prepare dictionary properly, for example with a script.

this time i've provided modest three-word dictionary by typing it in Linux's vi editor.

i didn't see a Linux version without this editor as of yet.




then we can use aircrack-ng command to attack password.

command below attacks password protected by WPA standard, using dictionary method.

for more, reader should consult linux man pages or a proper course, perhaps more.






data 'sniffed' can be also decrypted with airdecap-ng tool, for example.
