It will create and/or update a session file saving the current status of the cracking (every 10 minutes) as well as all the options used, wordlists and capture files used. Multiple wordlists can be used and it works with WEP and WPA.
This process might take some time, depending on your wordlist and the complexity of the key. Some tips you can use to speed up the process are using the GPU, which is much faster, or uploading the captured handshake file to an online cracking site. These sites use powerful computers which can crack passwords even faster. You can also create your wordlist using a Python or Bash script or use the crunch tool.
Wordlist wpa a 37
Hello World! Nowadays, WiFi devices are more secure and use WPA/WPA2 encryption, which has significant enhancements. For instance, dynamic key creation for each client for unicast communication with the same human readable key of length between 8 and 63 characters is now possible. But instead of remembering the powerful passphrase, people typically choose ones that are easier to guess and find in the popular wordlists. Today I'll demonstrate how to capture the WPA/WPA2 authentication handshake and then use a wordlist to retrieve the shared passphrase.
The capture file, wpa-capture-01.cap, may be found in the current directory. We need to use this file with aircrack-ng utility which will basically then read the EAPOL packets (also known as WPA handshakes) and attempt to find the passphrase from the wordlist.
I got an ideea for a project, If u have a PC and it's locked, u can make up a simple device to crack any password u can put in a wordlist, u only need a raspberry pi and a way to make it input the passwords in any place, (ex: fb pass box, admin box ANY BOX THAT NEEDS A PASS) but u need to unplug the keyboard and connect the raspberry pi instead. Then find a way to make the pi repeat some simple comands, select pass length , input, and click Back If the pass is incorrect to start over. And add more than one type of cables ex: for bypassing anything in your way, like security doors, PC, phones...... Now I got u guys thinking ... :) :)
ok so the issue is that most routers now use uppercase and lowercase as well as numbers for their password that people dont really change. but most wordlists like rockyou use common passcodes. are their any password txt that use these built in passwords for example Aug67Hgf78u. upper and lower
I've tested by including my own password and a bunch of incorrect passwords on a wordlist and aircrack-ng crack successfully. My password is 10 characters length, only uppercase letters and numbers, so I tried generating a wordlist with crunch (10 characters length, uppercase and numbers only):
You can use whatever you want for your wordlist, if you're attacking a network with a known passkey, just make sure it's in there. I downloaded a list of the 10,000 most common passwords ("password" is number one on the list) from SecLists on GitHub.
kali DOES come with a default wordlist if you look in the following folder: /usr/share/wordlists The one you want to use is the one that ends in tgz. However there are other word lists out there that are better such as the one listed here.
it can be done through live cd, usb. it didnt work without copying the wordlist? cuz i keep my wordlists in a seperate usb drive, and plug in when needed, it works perfectly. yes, super-WPA is of 11.9 gigs, yes, there are other wordlists available, just google. this one my fav, so i use it and linked it here.
The next stage for the attacker is to use offline resources to attempt to brute force or wordlist attack the handshake to determine the passphrase. The attacker can then use this passphrase to de-authenticate the original client and connect with the access point in its place.
Attempted passwords are typically specified in a wordlist. Wordlists can be found in multiple areas. By default, Kali and other pen testing distributions come with one or more wordlists to use in tests like this. For certain types of attacks, such as credential stuffing, lists can be found in other channels, such as dumps or other artifacts disclosed to public sources from prior breaches.
To use a wordlist in Hydra, use -P followed by the location of a wordlist, as shown in Figure 2. Likewise, to attempt to brute force more than one username, specify a file of usernames by using -L instead of the -l flag.
Figure 2 uses the -P option to specify the rockyou.txt wordlist -- a popular choice for brute-force attacks due to its thoroughness. It also specifies the -f option, which causes Hydra to stop when it discovers the first username/password combination. Note, if multiple hosts are specified, -f functions per host, while -F is first hit for any host. The example above also changes the format of the protocol/host combination. Instead of specifying the host and schema (protocol) in URL format (i.e., ssh://localhost), it instead specifies the protocol and host separately.
In general, it's said that using a GOOD 'dictionary' or 'wordlist' (as far as I know, they're the same!) is 'key'. But what makes them GOOD? Most people will say 'the bigger, the better'; however, this isn't always the case... (for the record this isn't my opinion on the matter - more on this later).
Other than a mass of download links, this post also contains pretty pictures and confusing numbers which shows the break down of statistics regarding 17 wordlists. These wordlists, which the original source(s) can be found online, have been 'analysed', 'cleaned' and then 'sorted', for example:
The reason for splitting into two parts was that 'most' passwords are either one or two words (containing one space in them). Words which have multiple spaces are mainly due to 'mistakes' with when/how the wordlists was created. So having them lower down, should increases the speed the password is discovered, without losing any possibility.
When removing HTML tags and/or email addresses, it doesn't mean that it wasn't effective. If the word has contained some HTML tags and it was still unique afterwords, it wouldn't change the line numbers, it would improve the wordlist & it still could be unique It is also worth mentioning, due to a general rule of 'search & replace', it COULD of removed a few false positives. It is believed that the amount removed to the predicted estimated amount is worth it. For example instead of having three passwords like below, it would be more worth while to have just the two passwords:
Download links for each collection which has been 'cleaned' is in the table below along with the results found and graphs. '17-in-1' is the combination of the results produced from each of the 17 collections. The extra addition afterwords (18-in-1), is a mixture of random wordlists (Languages (AIO), Random & WPA/WPA2) which I have accumulated. You can view & download them here (along with all the others!). '18-in-1 [WPA]', is a 'smaller' version of 18-in-1, with JUST words between 8-63 characters.
As mentioned at the start, whilst having gigabytes worth of wordlists may be good and all... having a personalised/specific/targeted wordlist is great. PaulDotCom (great show by the way), did just that a while back.
As the password has to be in the wordlist, and if it doesn't have the correct password you could try crunch (or L517 for windows) to generate your own. For a few good tutorials on how to use crunch, check here and here (I highly recommend ADayWithTape's blog).
Instead of brute forcing your way in, by 'playing it smart', it could be possible to generate/discover the password instead. This works if the algorithm has a weakness, for example here, or if the system is poor, for example here. However, finding a weakness might take longer than trying a wordlist (or three!).
We were disconnected for a very short period of time that's why we didn't get any message about being disconnected that's why even the person using the device didn't notice, and we were able to capture the handshake. To determine the WPA Key, we can use a wordlist and run it against the handshake. 2ff7e9595c
