[Tutoial] Cracking WPA Wifi, Packet sniffing passwords. - Linux BT/Kali - p99will - Feb 28, 2014

This small + simple guide is for those who want to know some basics,
you will need to be on a linux OS for this, Preferably Kali linux or at the least a distro of Back Track, If you don't have either of those you will need to install the software

install software:
sudo apt-get install aircrack-ng (wpa/2 cracking)
sudo apt-get install ettercap (packet sniffing)

and somehow get a hold of 'arpspoof' I CBF finding packages to install to get it.

So... Cracking a wpa/2 network:

Sniffing passwords: (requires access to the victims network)

It is a known issue if you are running Kali or Backtrack in Virtual Box or such. Essentially, since your in a virtual system, the OS sees your wifi card as a Ethernet connection instead. Basically, you have no wifi or the OS thinks you dont. Therefore, you cannot perform any sort of wifi cracking in VM ware. The only solution to this problem is using a 802.11n usb driver or something similar.

Hope that helped.

I used Ubuntu for this haha I disconnected my laptop offline by accident, and I was getting scared because my wifi connection was not showing up. It found the connection after a reset.

This post is a little old, but its okay.

There is a program called 'Kismac' that is able to crack Wi-Fi networks,

As for the password sniffing... I have no idea. but there will be tools. You just have to search around for them.
