Backtrack Wifi Hack

You already know that if you want to lock down your Wi-Fi network, you should opt for WPA encryption because WEP is easy to crack. But did you know how easy? Take a look.

Secure Your Home Wi-Fi Network

How to crack wpa2 wifi password using backtrack 5 By Rohit Choudhary 5 years ago Cracking a WPA or WPA2 wireless network is more difficult than cracking a WEP protected network because it depends on the complexity of the wireless password and on the attack. For educational purposes, in this article, we will see how to crack WiFi password using a famous WiFi cracker, Backtrack 5 R3, which can help patient people to hack even WPA and WPA2 security protocols.

Today we're going to run down, step-by-step, how to crack a Wi-Fi network with WEP security turned on. But first, a word: Knowledge is power, but power doesn't mean you should be a jerk, or do anything illegal. Knowing how to pick a lock doesn't make you a thief. Consider this post educational, or a proof-of-concept intellectual exercise.

Dozens of tutorials on how to crack WEP are already all over the internet using this method. Seriously—Google it. This ain't what you'd call 'news.' But what is surprising is that someone like me, with minimal networking experience, can get this done with free software and a cheap Wi-Fi adapter. Here's how it goes.

What You'll Need

Unless you're a computer security and networking ninja, chances are you don't have all the tools on hand to get this job done. Here's what you'll need:

  • A compatible wireless adapter—This is the biggest requirement. You'll need a wireless adapter that's capable of packet injection, and chances are the one in your computer is not. After consulting with my friendly neighborhood security expert, I purchased an Alfa AWUS050NH USB adapter, pictured here, and it set me back about $50 on Amazon. Update: Don't do what I did. Get the Alfa AWUS036H, not the US050NH, instead.The guy in this video below is using a $12 model he bought on Ebay (and is even selling his router of choice). There are plenty of resources on getting aircrack-compatible adapters out there.
  • A BackTrack Live CD. We already took you on a full screenshot tour of how to install and use BackTrack 3, the Linux Live CD that lets you do all sorts of security testing and tasks. Download yourself a copy of the CD and burn it, or load it up in VMware to get started.
  • A nearby WEP-enabled Wi-Fi network. The signal should be strong and ideally people are using it, connecting and disconnecting their devices from it. The more use it gets while you collect the data you need to run your crack, the better your chances of success.
  • Patience with the command line. This is an ten-step process that requires typing in long, arcane commands and waiting around for your Wi-Fi card to collect data in order to crack the password. Like the doctor said to the short person, be a little patient.

Crack That WEP

To crack WEP, you'll need to launch Konsole, BackTrack's built-in command line. It's right there on the taskbar in the lower left corner, second button to the right. Now, the commands.

First run the following to get a list of your network interfaces:

The only one I've got there is labeled ra0. Yours may be different; take note of the label and write it down. From here on in, substitute it in everywhere a command includes (interface).

Advertisement

Now, run the following four commands. See the output that I got for them in the screenshot below.

If you don't get the same results from these commands as pictured here, most likely your network adapter won't work with this particular crack. If you do, you've successfully 'faked' a new MAC address on your network interface, 00:11:22:33:44:55.

Now it's time to pick your network. Run:

To see a list of wireless networks around you. When you see the one you want, hit Ctrl+C to stop the list. Highlight the row pertaining to the network of interest, and take note of two things: its BSSID and its channel (in the column labeled CH), as pictured below. Obviously the network you want to crack should have WEP encryption (in the ENC) column, not WPA or anything else.

Advertisement

Like I said, hit Ctrl+C to stop this listing. (I had to do this once or twice to find the network I was looking for.) Once you've got it, highlight the BSSID and copy it to your clipboard for reuse in the upcoming commands.

Advertisement

Now we're going to watch what's going on with that network you chose and capture that information to a file. Run:

Where (channel) is your network's channel, and (bssid) is the BSSID you just copied to clipboard. You can use the Shift+Insert key combination to paste it into the command. Enter anything descriptive for (file name). I chose 'yoyo,' which is the network's name I'm cracking.

You'll get output like what's in the window in the background pictured below. Leave that one be. Open a new Konsole window in the foreground, and enter this command:

Backtrack

Here the ESSID is the access point's SSID name, which in my case is yoyo. What you want to get after this command is the reassuring 'Association successful' message with that smiley face.

You're almost there. Now it's time for:

Here we're creating router traffic to capture more throughput faster to speed up our crack. After a few minutes, that front window will start going crazy with read/write packets. (Also, I was unable to surf the web with the yoyo network on a separate computer while this was going on.) Here's the part where you might have to grab yourself a cup of coffee or take a walk. Basically you want to wait until enough data has been collected to run your crack. Watch the number in the '#Data' column—you want it to go above 10,000. (Pictured below it's only at 854.)

Advertisement

Depending on the power of your network (mine is inexplicably low at -32 in that screenshot, even though the yoyo AP was in the same room as my adapter), this process could take some time. Wait until that #Data goes over 10k, though—because the crack won't work if it doesn't. In fact, you may need more than 10k, though that seems to be a working threshold for many.

Once you've collected enough data, it's the moment of truth. Launch a third Konsole window and run the following to crack that data you've collected:

Here the filename should be whatever you entered above for (file name). You can browse to your Home directory to see it; it's the one with .cap as the extension.

If you didn't get enough data, aircrack will fail and tell you to try again with more. If it succeeds, it will look like this:

The WEP key appears next to 'KEY FOUND.' Drop the colons and enter it to log onto the network.

Problems Along the Way

With this article I set out to prove that cracking WEP is a relatively 'easy' process for someone determined and willing to get the hardware and software going. I still think that's true, but unlike the guy in the video below, I had several difficulties along the way. In fact, you'll notice that the last screenshot up there doesn't look like the others—it's because it's not mine. Even though the AP which I was cracking was my own and in the same room as my Alfa, the power reading on the signal was always around -30, and so the data collection was very slow, and BackTrack would consistently crash before it was complete. After about half a dozen attempts (and trying BackTrack on both my Mac and PC, as a live CD and a virtual machine), I still haven't captured enough data for aircrack to decrypt the key.

So while this process is easy in theory, your mileage may vary depending on your hardware, proximity to the AP point, and the way the planets are aligned. Oh yeah, and if you're on deadline—Murphy's Law almost guarantees it won't work if you're on deadline.

Got any experience with the WEP cracking courtesy of BackTrack? What do you have to say about it? Give it up in the comments.

Where ever you go, you need Wi-Fi orinternet connectivity. World has become such a thing that without Wi-Fi Most ofthe people can’t survive. So, what if you go somewhere are you don’t have wifiaccess? What are you going to do? The last resort is to crack Wi-Fi password.Just kidding. Well most of the times windows operating system is not used tocrack or hack anything. Because it designed for a commercial use. But that’snot the case with Linux, almost all of the Linux operating systems are opensource. Hacking anything became a greatest challenge to hackers and penetrationtesters now.
So, to crack something what you need?Linux or Windows? I would say both, but most of the times Linux is preferredbecause of its flexibility and wide variety of tools. Most of the people feelits very to use Linux and give up on working on Linux. For such people here isa simple tutorial on cracking Wi-Fi WPA/WPA2 WPS enabled networks using Dumpperand JumpStart, these two are windows applications. Which can crack wps pin andhelp you get connected to any wps enabled networks. I would say this is one ofthe easiest and best way to crack Wfi WPA/WAP2 WPS Enabled routers. If you wantto try hacking through your android mobile, there is one simple way to crackwifi wpa wps enabled networks in 2 mins. Refer to Hacking Wifi using your android mobileseasily in 2 mins

What is WPA/WPA2:

Wi-Fi ProtectedAccess (WPA) and Wi-Fi Protected Access II (WPA2) aretwo security protocols and security certification programs developed bythe Wi-Fi Alliance to secure wireless computer networks. The Alliancedefined these in response to serious weaknesses researchers had found in theprevious system, WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy).


A flaw in a feature added to Wi-Fi,called Wi-Fi Protected Setup, allows WPA and WPA2 security to be bypassedand effectively broken in many situations.WPA and WPA2 security implemented without using the Wi-FiProtected Setup feature are unaffected by the security vulnerability.
WPA2 hasreplaced WPA. WPA2, which requires testing and certification by the Wi-FiAlliance, implements the mandatory elements of IEEE 802.11i. In particular, itincludes mandatory support for CCMP, an AES-based encryption modewith strong security. Certification began in September, 2004; from March13, 2006, WPA2 certification is mandatory for all new devices to bear the Wi-Fitrademark.


What Is WPS :

Wi-Fi ProtectedSetup (WPS; originally Wi-Fi Simple Config) is anetwork security standard that attempts to allow users to easily secure a wireless home network but could fallto brute-force attacks if one or more of the network's access points do not guard againstthe attack.

Limitations For Using This Hack:

1.This Hack works on Wpa/Wpa2 – WpsUnlocked Networks only
2.Does not work on all Routers & allencryption's, so cannot hack all the wifi networks Available near you. At leastthis method can’t.
3.Not all Networks or routers can behacked using this method.
4.While hacking some networks it says'Wireless Configuration Failed ' that means jumpstart (the softwarethat we are going to use to hack wifi password) cannot hack that network.
There are many people wondering abouthacking wifi networks. So, here is a simple tutorial on How to hack wifi Wpaand Wpa2 security through Windows using dumpper and Jumpstart

Requirements:

2)Windows Operating System

Frequently Asked Questions:

1) Does This method work??

Ans: Yes, it works, but not on allkinds of networks and routers. As i mentioned in the above article usingjumpstart, you can hack only wifi routers secured with wpa/wpa2 - wps enabled

2) Jumpstart shows Wireless configurationfailed! what could be the reason for it not to be successful?

Ans: Same answer asabove, because it is not programmed to hack routers that are already patched ofthis vulnerability. To put it into simple words, router is much stronger thanthe attack

3) Hacking with JumpStart Failed, how should i hack thisparticular network now??

Ans: Not all Hackson first try, you need to do a lot of digging before you are trying to hacksomething, Same goes for wifi networks as well. Hacking is not easy at all.There are many other methods to hack wifi, but there are not many methods thatwork on all kinds of networks or devices.
