When a Handshake packet is captured, Wifite will try a default/simple password list. The more clients that are connected to the AP the better the chance and more quicker wifite will capture the handshake packets.

Those clients will then try to re-establish a connection and in doing so, wifite will capture the initial handshake packets which contain the password hashes. The key thing to look out for is the amount of connected clients (as we are trying to capture a handshake between the client and the AP).Īfter choosing the Access Point in wifite in this case ‘EternalWIFI’, it will attempt to deauth the clients connected (disconnect the Clients).

Immediately you will see a list of WiFi SSID’s begin to populate in the terminal window. The installation of Kali is on a Laptop with a compatible WiFi adapter which allows for monitor mode, this is necessary to capture packets ‘in the air’.īoot up Kali and either navigate to ‘ wifte‘ in the applications tab or open up a terminal and type in ‘ wifite‘. In this guide we will go through how to capture and crack the handshakes to reveal the WiFi Password.įirstly, you will need a Kali machine! For the purpose of this guide I am using a vanilla install of Kali and am running all of my sessions and commands as a Root user, if you are using a standard account then ‘Sudo’ will be required before most, if not all commands being executed. Today we are going to walk through the steps needed to crack WiFi access points using a combination of wifite and Aircrack-ng. So you’re interested in Hacking and Cracking? Or just want some free WiFi! Either way you have found the right place to begin. How to Crack WiFi WPA/WPA2 using WiFite and Aircrack Last Updated:
