We can sniff the packets of the entire network and we can see how many accesspoints are around you. After entering into monitoring mode please check the interface name again to go further. Now we are in monitoring mode having interface wlan0mon. Kill all the process/PID which can create problems while cracking. To capture the packets of the wireless network we need to turn on our wifi card to monitering mode. Now you can see we are having wireless interface as wlan0 connected to our machine. (In kali you are having wordlist rockyou.txt which is located in /usr/share/wordlists)įirst we have to check our wifi card is connected with our device or not. Kali Linux (Installed in virtual machine (or) as host).Certification began in September, 2004 from March 13, 2006, WPA2 certification is mandatory for all new devices to bear the Wi-Fi trademark. In particular, it includes mandatory support for CCMP, an AES-based encryption mode with strong security. WPA2, which requires testing and certification by the Wi-Fi Alliance, implements the mandatory elements of IEEE 802.11i. WPA and WPA2 security implemented without using the Wi-Fi Protected Setup feature are unaffected by the security vulnerability.

WPA2 became available in 2004 and is a common shorthand for the full IEEE 802.11i (or IEEE 802.11i-2004) standard.Ī flaw in a feature added to Wi-Fi, called Wi-Fi Protected Setup, allows WPA and WPA2 security to be bypassed and effectively broken in many situations. The Wi-Fi Alliance intended it as an intermediate measure in anticipation of the availability of the more secure and complex WPA2. The Alliance defined these in response to serious weaknesses researchers had found in the previous system, WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy). Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) and Wi-Fi Protected Access II (WPA2) are two security protocols and security certification programs developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance to secure wireless computer networks. Before starting the attack lets have a small introduction about WPA/WPA2.
