Hacking WIFI

[evilmage93]

I have cracked WIFI connections (mine, ofcourse ) using BT and an external router but recently i tried it using acer aspire one lappy with inbuilt wifi router and was unsuccessful. It doesnt show mine wifi device.

So i think i already know the ans but still, does BT works only with external wifi devices??

How did you Do that?? DID u used BT4 OS or any other cracking tool

In order to crack a WiFi network, you need an adapter which supports packet injection. Not all adapters support this feature.

How did you crack it via BT anyway?

^^ Mostly all the Atheros adapters are supported...Mine even the netgear USB adapter works..

I Have a Teracom Type 2 Modem.Can I Experiment with it??

One needs a Wifi Adaptor that supports Packet Injection/Aircracking for hacking WEP protected APN.

The Netgear adapter only works in Linux (Backtrack) AFAIK.

Here is a list of all compatible adapters for backtrack (Airhack)

BT Works with internal Adapters as well.

will anyone will be able to hack if I use wep 2 security...

 

[whitestar_999]

you mean WPA2 & no unless backed by govt resources.

@ Gauravs90 >> YES BT and other tools does it very well

 

[whitestar_999]

@devx,assuming you are talking about WPA2 then you are wrong.try using BT to crack a 10 character alphanumeric WPA2 password on your desktop.

@whitestar_999 >> hahaha., i did it bro., it took almost 2 days on PENTIUM D and nothing is impossible, basically people have small dict. and end-up very quickly., as you know WPA-PSK networks are vulnerable to dictionary attacks, so let me tell you then

- Dual-core would take almost 5 days with a large dict. and 4 core or above is recommended to capture the handshake that contains PSK passphrase.

- Brute-force would be very-very helpful if done with a large stream processors / cuda cores of GPU.

- Online services are also there provides dictionaries.

- Pro. always got a good collection of large dictionaries and hours of time too.

WEP2 is doomed.It must be WPA2??

@ Gauravs90 >> YES BT and other tools does it very well

See what has been asked.
Which other tools are you talking about.
Try what whitestar has said.You will know.

 

[whitestar_999]

i know about dictionary attacks but i was talking about random combination since that is the real deal.brute forcing a 8 character alphanumeric(random) WPA password takes 1481 years using i5 2500k(5000 WPA password guesses per second).even assuming 1 Million WPA passwords/second using 400 CPU clusters on Amazon's EC2 cloud will take 7 years to crack a random 8 character alphanumeric WPA password.

@devx
Try with a random 12 key passphrase.lol

 

[dashing.sujay]

Cracking an alphanumeric 10-12 key pass-phrase with brute force attack can only be imagined. I'm telling an instance. Once I had forgot pass of an word file of which I had set 11 digit pass consisting only small caps + numerals. Problem was I had missed one digit while entering pass. Just to recover that one digit with brute force even when I had specified that all other characters, my P4 PC took 36 hrs.

Cracking a WPA2 pass is very very tough if you have zero idea about the pass.

 

[evilmage93]

U can crack WEP for sure and easily and its gonna take hours ( for me it took 3 hrs) but for WPA2 its simply depend on the wifi owner, if the guy is a newbie he will use password made up of max 2 or 3 dictionary word and u can crack that easily but if we are dealing with a veteran here he will have one of those 63 character long GRC one, then good luck cracking, ur kids will get married before ur halfway near.

 

[evilmage93]

How did you Do that?? DID u used BT4 OS or any other cracking tool

BT5 is more than enough, software wise, along with that get a wifi enabled computer or laptop, wifi router capable of packet injection and ur ready to hack ur neighbors wifi.

DONT TRY THIS AT HOME

@ Sujeet >> A desktop would never be able to crack complex 10 Alphanumeric keys., may be i cracked a less complex key combination + my dict. was large but procy of different machines on LAN can be used AND I'm talking about online tools / Premium tools available.

@ whitestar_999 >> Ethical hacker have options to use WPA Cracker which gives you access to a 400CPU cluster + 135 MILLION word dictionary created specially for WPA passwords., which on paying 17$ would crack at an average of 20 MINUTES.

- MASSIVE CPU power is not enough., a very huge collection dict. is required too.

@ Sujeet >> Hey man., i could have cracked it if got an access to big servers and i'm not a pro in hacking., but i have spent almost 3 years on creating a LARGE DICT. and if you don't believe that long keys can't be cracked pay some for few services and watch the results.


NOTE: It's not a everyday playgame to crack such a long keys on desktop, who perform it in real is PEN. TESTERS [Experts to bypass/breach firewalls of vulnerable networks and use there crunching power] [I KNOW IT MAY SOUND LIL. FILMY BUT a group of hackers can perform]
