How to hack wep keys

And, allowed size of password is 64 characters. I hate to tell you this but yes, doing it on your own can take forever. The tool is fluxion. 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. 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. 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.

It can take time to all the available WiFi networks in range. First enter the command airplay-ng -1 0 -a FB:A9:B1 mon0 to perform fake authentication -1 in command to the network. 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 Once you have enough data in the file bell It will test all the data values available in key file and automatically show you the key it found by testing data in file. 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 without colon as the password of targeted WEP WiFi Network and it will be connected.

Tags: Hack WiFi X. Saurabh Saha March 14, 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. Here's how it goes. 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:. It's right there on the taskbar in the lower left corner, second button to the right. Now, the commands. 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. 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, To see a list of wireless networks around you. 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.

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.

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

What you want to get after this command is the reassuring "Association successful" message with that smiley face. Here we're creating router traffic to capture more throughput faster to speed up our crack. 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.
