In this hi-tech life, we always need a working internet connection to manage both our professional and personal life. The most comfortable way to access internet everywhere anytime is by buying mobile data recharges but they are very expensive. Another good way to connect to free WiFi if it’s luckily available at your workplace, college or home. But everyone is not that lucky.
Everybody might have many fast WiFi hotspots available in their smartphone’s range, but they don’t have access to those WiFi connections because they are password protected and you don’t have access to them so, you can’t use those WiFi hotspot to access internet in your smartphone or laptop. But, what if you can hack a WiFi?
Yes, I am not joking. What if you can hack any WiFi available in your range and crack it’s password to access free and unlimited internet? IMO, if you can learn a way to hack a WiFi network then you can access free internet everywhere. Right?
So, I am telling you the method to hack a secured WiFi network, crack its password and enjoy free internet using it.
The Technicium Mac address changer has certain restriction in some cases (particularly Wireless connection) such that we should use only ’02’ as fist octet of mac address (as you can see a checkbox in the tool). So, it seems it is not possible to completely spoof your mac address as another PC’s mac address. Rundown: How To Hack WiFi Passwords WPA & WPA2. READ: How To Make A Windows PC Restart Forever. READ: Google Dinosaur Game Hacks. So this was all about how to hack wifi using Kali Linux. As you can see the process of hacking wifi is very simple. You just have to follow some series of commands to hack any wifi network.
Before moving directly to the methods to hack WiFi networks lets first see what type of security and authentication methods are implemented in WiFi networks.
WiFi Security & Encryption Methods
- Open – This is WiFi networks with no authentication. Anyone in the WiFi range can connect his device to the network without any password in enjoy free internet. However, these networks are rarely available and also risky.
- WEP – Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a security protocol, specified in the IEEE Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) standard, 802.11b, that is designed to provide a wireless local area network (WLAN) with a level of security and privacy comparable to what is usually expected of a wired LAN.
- WPA – WiFi Protected Access (WPA) is improved and more secured security protocol which arrived with lots of improvements in encryption and authentication methods of WEP.
- WPA2 PSK – It is short of Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 – Pre-Shared Key which is the latest and most powerful encryption method used in WiFi networks right now.
Hacking WiFi Networks with WEP, WPA and WPA2 PSK Security
As security features have been improved from WEP to WPA to WPA2 PSK WiFi authentication protocol, so obviously, WEP WiFi networks are very easy to hack compared to WPA and WPA2 PSK Security methods.
Almost every password-protected WiFi networks support both WPA/WPA2 PSK authentication. If somebody is already connected to the network, you can check in his network properties to see what encryption-type is being using by the targeted WiFi network.
But if you want to know encryption-type of WiFi network which is not connected to any device in your reach, you need Ubuntu operating system to do this.
In Ubuntu, you can use nmcli command in terminal which is command-line client for NetworkManager. It will show you security types of nearby Wi-Fi access points. Enter the following command in terminal:
It will show you the output like this:
Using the above methods, you should have known the encryption-type of targeted WiFi network which you want to hack. So, I am gonna show you how to hack WiFi Network for each of WEP, WPA and WPA2 PSK secured WiFi networks.
Requirements for Hacking WiFi Netwoks
My methods require KALI Linux which is especially designed Linux distrbution for penetration testing and ethical hacking. You can download it for free from its official site. Download Kali Linux ISO from its website either install it as separate operating system in your system or you can use Virtual Machine/VMware to directly run KALI Linux inside Windows.
How to make your mac hack ready pc. You will also need Aircrack-ng which is a security suite to assess WiFi network security. It focuses on different area of WiFi security: monitoring, attacking, testing and cracking.
Another important requirement is to check if your wireless card is compatible with Aircrack-ng or not. Because if it’s not compatible, you need to have an Aircrack-ng compatible card. Check it directly here: http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php or run aireplay-ng -9 mon0 command inside terminal to view the percentage of injection your card can do.
Install Aircrack-ng using the following command in KALI LINUX
- sudo apt-cache search aircrack-ng (to seach aircrack-ng or any related repositories)
- sudo apt-get install aircrack-ng (to install aircrack-ng repository)
Fulfill only these requirements and you are ready to hack any WiFi network, whether it is a WEP, WPA or WPA2 PSK Wi-Fi.
Steps to hack WiFi Networks
Starting below, I’ll be guiding you step-by-step in hacking a secured WiFi network. You can either scroll down to read each and every WiFi hacking method or can directly jump to the required section below using these links:
There are various methods to hack into WiFi network and crack its password for all the above security-types but I am showing only those methods with which I’ve had success in cracking password of desired WiFi network and hack secured WiFi Access points. So, if you follow these steps correctly, you’ll also be able to hack any WiFi hotspot available in your reach.
How To Hack WEP WiFi Network
In this method, we are going to hack WEP secured WiFi network using packet injection method inside KALI Linux operating system. So, start KALI Linux in your system. Now follow these below steps:
Step 1: Check Wireless Interface
- Open terminal in Kali Linux and enter the command airmon-ng. It will show you what network interface are you using. In my system, I have only one network interface card wlan0, which is my wireless interface card.
- Create a network interface which runs in monitor mode. To do this enter command airmon-ng start wlan0.Make sure to replace wlan0 in command with the interface name that your card have. Here, mon0 has been created.
- Now, you might or might not get the warning appearing in the below screenshot which tells other processes using the network which can create the problem. So, you can kill them using the syntax: kill PID if you know those processes are not important for you at the moment.
Step 2: Scan available WEP WiFi networks
- Now, enter the command airodump-ng mon0 to scan & list down all the available WiFi networks using created monitor interface (mon0). It can take time to all the available WiFi networks in range.
- Once the process is done,all the available WiFi access points will appear with their important details: BSSID (WiFi Access Point MAC Address), PWR (Signal strength value; the lower, the better), CH (Channel for WiFi), ENC (Encryption type), AUTH, ESSID (Name of WiFi)
- Select the WiFi network with WEP Encryption (ENC) and lowest PWR value.
Step 3: Attack the selected WEP WiFi Network
- Open another terminal concurrently and enter command: aidodump-ng -c 1 -w bell –bssid 64:0F:28:6B:A9:B1 mon0. Here, -c 1 indicates channel number which is 1, -w bell is to write data in file “bell”, –bssid 64:0F:28:6B:A9:B1 is MAC address for my selected WiFi access point and mon0 is monitor interface that was created above. Hit Enter and it will start sending packets (visible in #Data) to the WiFi
- The speed of sending data is very slow but you need to escalate it by attacking the WEP WiFi network. First enter the command airplay-ng -1 0 -a 64:0F:28:6B:A9:B1 mon0 to perform fake authentication (-1 in command) to the network.
- Now we will perform ARP REPLAY Attack to the WiFi network to climb the data to the network at enormous rate. Useairplay-ng -3 -b 64:0F:28:6B:A9:B1 mon0, where -3 is for ARP REPLAY attack. Hit enter and the command will start doing attack to WEP WiFi Access point and you can see the #Data value increasing at enormously fast rate.
- In below screenshot the bell-01.cap is the file where data is being stored that we will use to crack the password of this WEP WiFi network once we have enough data (recommended #Data value should be over 35,000).
- Once you have enough data in the file bell-01.cap, run the command aircrack-ng bell-01.cap. It will test all the data values available in key file and automatically show you the key it found by testing data in file.
- You can see in above screenshot that we have successfully cracked the password of targeted WEP WiFi network
- The key found will not be in those text or alphanumeric format that the WiFi owner has created. It will be in hex format but work just fine.
- Now, to use this key, firstly start the processes you have killed in Step 1 above using the command I have used below.
- Finally enter the cracked key 61:32:58:94:98 (without colon) as the password of targeted WEP WiFi Network and it will be connected.
Steps to Hack WPA/WPA2 Secured WiFi Network
Hacking into WPA/WPA2 WiFi Network is very tough, time & resource consuming. The technique used to crack WPA/WPA2 WiFi password is 4-way handshake for which there is a requirement to have at least one device connected to the network.
In WPA/WPA2 security method, the allowed password can have both large and small alphabets, numbers and symbols. And, allowed size of password is 64 characters. On a rough guess, if we consider password to be only 8 characters long and eliminate the use of symbols even then if you want to crack WPA or WPA2 WiFi password, using the brute force method the password combinations will be: 826+26+10=62 which is equals to:
- 98079714615416886934934209737619787751599303819750539264
So, even in fastest computer you can manage to use, it’s going to take hours.
Aircrack-ng have all the tools required to crack into WPA/WPA2 PSK WiFi network. It can perform 4-way handshake by disconnecting/connecting the connected device and capturing WPA handshake. It can perform brute-force attack but you can’t hope to crack the password if you have wordlist/dictionary for the password (which is already too big in size) with password inside it. I hate to tell you this but yes, doing it on your own can take forever.
However, there is a tricky way to crack WPA/WPA2 WiFi Password quickly which only requires you to be a bit lucky. The tool is fluxion. Fluxion use same 4-way handshake technique to crack secured WPA/WPA2 WiFi access points password but it doesn’t require you to have dictionary or perform brute force attack. So yes, it’s going to minimize your time to hack WPA or WPA2 WiFi networks password multiple folds.
Instead of doing this, it performs a little bit of phishing where the already connected user is asked to enter password of WiFi network again for security reason and when the user enter the password, first the handshake is checked with the earlier captured handshake of the device, if handshake is correct that means the password entered by user is correct. Once it is successful, Fluxion returns the key required to authenticate the network.
Steps to crack WPA/WPA2 WiFi Password using Fluxion
- Scan the networks.
- Capture a handshake (can’t be used without a valid handshake, it’s necessary to verify the password)
- Use WEB Interface *
- Launch a FakeAP instance to imitate the original access point
- Spawns a MDK3 process, which deauthenticates all users connected to the target network, so they can be lured to connect to the FakeAP and enter the WPA password.
- A fake DNS server is launched in order to capture all DNS requests and redirect them to the host running the script
- A captive portal is launched in order to serve a page, which prompts the user to enter their WPA password
- Each submitted password is verified by the handshake captured earlier
- The attack will automatically terminate, as soon as a correct password is submitted
I can understand that not all readers will be able to implement the method after reading such summarized version on hacking WPA/WPA2 PSK WiFi Network. So, below is the video tutorial on cracking WPA2 WiFi Access Point password using Fluxion.

Hello friends, In this tutorial, I’m going to show you how to hack wifi. Many of my friends were asking me to write a tutorial on hacking wifi, so here it is.
You probably want to hack wifi because you want to enjoy free Internet.
For me, this was my only motivation to hack into someone’s wifi. This was the only reason for me at least.
How To Hack Wpa2 Wifi On Mac
I don’t know about you… but I guess you too want to enjoy free Internet.
So… here is the guide which will show you how to hack wifi step by step. I wrote this tutorial in such a way that every beginner will easily be able to crack any wifi. This is a step by step approach into hacking wifi.
RECOMMENDED: Ethical Hacking For Beginners
RECOMMENDED: Basic Linux Commands For Beginners
In this tutorial I’mg going to use the hackers OS.
Yes… the hackers OS which is Kali Linux. Intel wifi mac os.
I’m quite sure that you already know about Kali Linux and what it is used for. It is the most used hacking Operating System. The other one is Parrot OS. Which is also quite popular.
Also as a side note, I have written a tutorial on how to install parrot os, you can read it if you want to.
But for this tutorial, I’m going to use Kali Linux for wifi hacking. I’m running a live version of kali which is very cool.
Just in case you don’t know, live version means you are directly running the OS without having to install it on your disk.
Now, let us have a look at the types of WiFi Networks that you can find in your neighborhood.
1. Open Networks (You gotta be kidding me)
These types of networks don’t have any password to them. Anybody can connect to wifi a network that is open. I’m pretty much sure that nowadays you won’t find any wireless network with an open router configuration. If you have found one then you are very lucky.
2. Mac Filtered (Ummm… Not so secure)
Some people use mac filtering for their wifi security. In this type of wifi security, a person uses a whitelist to allow some devices, based on mac address to connect. Or a person can use a blacklist to block specific mac addresses that are not able to connect to the wireless network. This type of security is very easy to set up and does not requires much effort.
3. WEP (Easily hackable)
The WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy. Wifi networks using WEP security are the easiest target for hackers because it has many vulnerabilities. So if you see a wifi network that is based on WEP security that you can easily hack that network. This security standard is not used by routers anymore. In the modern wireless routers, you won’t be able to find WEP option.
4. WPA (This person knows something about security)
This is the next version of WEP security. It stands for Wi-Fi Protected Access. It is somewhat better than WEP but not completely secure.
5. WPA2 (Pretty secure)
The WPA2 is very secure and can’t be hacked easily. Wifi networks using WPA2 security are considered as secure. But you surely can hack a WPA2 enabled wifi network but it will require more time.

How To Hack WiFi Passwords WPA & WPA2
Anyways, enough talking let’s jump right into hacking wifi networks.
But before you go ahead and hack your neighbor’s wifi, let me warn you! And here is a quick disclaimer for you.
So let’s start.
Now, if you want to hack wifi, you first need to discover all wifi networks around you. You’ll also need to get the information about the wifi networks that are within your wireless card range.
Of course, you can have a look at all the wireless networks by clicking on the connect wifi icon.
But this is not much help. You need to gather more information about the wireless network that you want to hack.
So, to do this you’ll need to change your wifi card to monitor mode. By default, it is in managed mode.
It is not a complex process, just follow the following simple steps:
Step 1: Find your wireless card name.
Simply run the command–iwconfig wlan0
You can see that the mine wireless card is named wlan0 and it is running in managed mode. To find your wireless card name simply run the command–iwconfig
Step 2: Run the following series of commands.
Also remember, if you are running these commands and not seeing any error then the commands are executing successfully.
Don’t think that if you are not getting any output, then the commands are not executing.
ifconfig wlan0 down
This command will turn off your wireless card. You need to run this command to make sure, you don’t have any error while trying to change the wifi card to monitor mode. Once you have turned off your wifi card run the next command.

Now, this is the command which will turn the mode of your wireless card to monitor mode.
ifconfig wlan0 up
Once you have changed the mode to monitor mode, you’ll need to turn on the wifi card.
Hack Wifi Wpa Password
That’s it, now you are in monitor mode and you can easily sniff packets from the wireless networks around you.
Just to make sure, perform the optional step 3.
Step 3: Check if you are in monitor mode.
Again run the command–iwconfig wlan0 and check the mode part. If it’s written monitor in front of it, you are good to go.
Run the command–airodump-ng wlan0 to see all the wifi networks around you.
Now, you’ll be able to see all the networks within your wifi range. You are able to see these network only because you’ve turned the wifi to monitor mode.
Now, you have successfully discovered information about the wireless networks around you. Let’s move onto the real stuff now.
In this wifi hacking tutorial, our primary focus is on hacking WPA and wpa2 wifi networks.
Because these are the two widely used wifi encryption techniques, the focus of this tutorial will also be on these encryption types. Since these are the most used encryption techniques, you’ll be able to hack the majority of wifi networks around you.
So to hack WPA and wpa2 wifi networks, you need to capture a handshake packet from the wifi network that you are trying to hack. The settlers 7 download mac.
During the chaos attending the liberation of Paris in 1944 she wrote a diaryhitherto unpublished and long-forgotten by herwhich forms the opening and major segment of this short, memorable book. Marguerite duras the war pdf download.
Think a handshake packet like a request which is sent to the wireless router every time a new client connects to it. This client needs to have all the credentials like a password in order to connect to the router.
So our first step is to capture the handshake packet. But remember, we can only capture this handshake only when a new client connects to the router.
Step 1: Capture the handshake packet.
So let’s first have a look at all the networks available.
Simply type airodump-ng wlan0
Now it will list all the wifi networks within your wifi card range. You can see I have only one access point available within my wireless card range.
Hack Wifi Password Without Download
- The first column BSSID is the MAC address of the access point (means our router).
- CH stands for the channel, it is the channel which the router is using to transfer the signals.
- ENC stands for encryption and it tells the type of encryption a router is using. In my case, it is WPA encryption.
- At last ESSID is the actual name of the wifi network.
So now you have some understanding of a few of the important columns. Let’s work now to hack this wifi network.
Run the above command and look for the wifi network which you are trying to hack.
So here, I’ve set up a network named hackingpress.com. This access point is going to be my target. You find your’s and follow each of the steps that I implement on this wifi network.
First, I will gather more information about this single wifi network, I will use the following command–
airodump-ng –bssid [bssid] –channel [channel] –write [filename] [interface]
This command will look like this in my situation:
How To Hacking Wifi Password
The final command in your situation will be different. So make sure you run the command by supplying it the correct information. Otherwise, it will not work.
So once running this command, I’ll have all the details of this wifi network.
As you can see, there are two blocks in the image above. The first is listing all the information about the wifi network that I selected above.
And…
…the second block here is giving information about the devices that are connected to selected wifi network.
So…
…you can see, only one device is connected to this wifi network. Also, keep in mind I’m doing all this to capture the handshake. You also need to capture the handshake packet in your case.
But remember, what I said earlier…
…we can only capture a handshake only when a new device connects to the network.
Now you might be thinking that I’ll have to wait for a new device to connect to the network in order to get the handshake packet.
But, I got a little trick. I can disconnect this connected device from the wifi network using a simple command. Once the device is disconnected it will automatically try to connect to the network again. That is when a handshake packet will be captured.
I’ll simply run the command–
aireplay-ng –deauth [no. of packets] –a [MAC address of router] –c [MAC address of the device connected to the wifi]
The command will look like this:
Now, once I run the command the aireplay-ng program will send 4 deauthentication packets to the client device. This will make the client disconnect and reconnect to the wifi network and boom… I have now got the handshake packet.
A huge chunk of work is done now.
Step 2: Create a wordlist file
The next step is to create a wordlist file. The wordlist file will be used in the next step to crack the WPA password.
With crunch, we will create all the combinations of the letters that we think is in the wifi password.
For example, let’s say I know that this wifi network has a password which contains characters abc12345, but don’t know in which order. Also, I know the password is 8 characters long.
Now, one way is that I can try all the possible combination of these characters to connect to the wifi network.
The other way is that I’ll use the crunch utility to create all the possible combinations of these characters which have a length of 8. I’ll use this list against the handshake packet that I captured earlier.
I hope, you got the idea why we are using the crunch software.
Here is the basic syntax of the crunch that we are going to use:
crunch [min] [max] [characterset] -o [output filename]
Now I’ll create a wordlist file which has characters abc12345. The min and maximum length of the password will be 8 which will be stored in a file name my-wordlist in my case.
You can name it anything.
Once the wordlist is ready. We just need to crack the wifi password.
Step 3: Actually hacking the WiFi
We’ll use aircrack-ng to hack the wifi password.
Here is the syntax of the aircrack-ng command–
aircrack-ng [handshake-file] -w [wordlist]
In my case the command will look like this:
https://kentuckyever801.weebly.com/game-boy-dmg-01.html. After supplying the handshake file and the wordlist file to the command hit enter, it will start the cracking process.
The aircrack-ng uses a special technique to check each wifi password stored in the wordlist file against the captured handshake. Once a match is found it will tell you the wifi key which can be used to connect to the network.
Now, we have successfully hacked the wifi network. The key found is abc12345, which is correct. Once you have found the key for your desired WiFi network, you can use to connect to it.
