Step 3: Using Aircrack-ng

Starting Aircrack-ng

Aircrack-ng is primarily a command-line tool. Open your terminal or command prompt to use it.

Capture Packets

  1. Put Your Network Interface in Monitor Mode: Use the command: airmon-ng start , replacing <interface> with your network interface name.
  2. Capture Packets: Use the command: airodump-ng , replacing <interface> with your network interface name in monitor mode (e.g., mon0).

Analyzing Packets

While capturing, airodump-ng will display the available wireless networks and associated clients. Use this information to target specific networks for further testing.

Cracking WEP/WPA/WPA2 Keys

  1. Capture Handshake: Use the command: airodump-ng -c --bssid -w , replacing the placeholders with appropriate values.

Common Tasks

Changing MAC Address

Sometimes, you may need to change your MAC address for anonymity or bypassing MAC filters. Use the command: ifconfig hw ether .

Deauthenticating Clients

To capture a handshake, you might need to deauthenticate a client to force re-authentication. Use the command: aireplay-ng --deauth 10 -a -c .

Inspecting Details
