This short tutorial walks you through hacking and cracking WPA/WPA2 based networks which use pre-shared keys.
WPA/WPA2 supports many types of authentication beyond pre-shared keys. aircrack-ng can by now only crack pre-shared keys. So ensure airodump-ng shows the network as having the authentication type of PSK.
If you know howto hack or crack a WEP based network, you might know that the WEP cracking and hacking methods are based on statistical methods. This WPA/WPA2 is unlike the WEP hacking / cracking approach based on plain brute force techniques. The brute force method is rather slow, since the pre-shared key can be from 8 to 63 characters in length, which might require too much time to crack.
UPDATE Oct 12 2008
A new project called Pyrit is currently under it’s way. “Pyrit takes a step ahead in attacking WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK, the protocol that today de-facto protects public WIFI-airspace. The project’s goal is to estimate the real-world security provided by these protocols. Pyrit does not provide binary files or wordlists and does not encourage anyone to participate or engage in any harmful activity. This is a research project, not a cracking tool.
Pyrit’s implementation allows to create massive databases, pre-computing part of the WPA/WPA2-PSK authentication phase in a space-time-tradeoff. The performance gain for real-world-attacks is in the range of three orders of magnitude which urges for re-consideration of the protocol’s security. Exploiting the computational power of GPUs, this is currently by far the most powerful attack against one of the world’s most used security-protocols.”
man this is the fucking site it need 22 days 3 hours and 45 minutes and 23 sec for hacking one 8 letters password
All u stuk up fucks go suck ur mothers.all u lot who say”noobs…hackers…whackers…crackers”…and try to put down poor people go fuk ya sisters!ur all peadophiles anyway you weirdos!!so people r noobs…big deal!u got born wiv Intelligence quatas of 2000 did ya!wankers!my neighbours a knob&i want2 dig in2 his broadband connection as he suks shit(like u stuk ups!)&never uses it anyway-except 4wanking over child porn&e mails 2his knobsack boss licking his balls 4a raise!so all u lot who ‘disagree’ wiv nicking some GB allowance that’s being wasted can go stik ur spotty fat knobs&bellys into dogshit!snobby wankers!sum of us r poor&cant afford ISP’s…just gimme a program that let’s me take his IC during the day when he’s at work wanking his boss off so I can use it!!wots up wiv that?its not being used and he’s paying £45 a month for a thing he uses for no more than 4 hours(if that)!!so all u ‘noob’ haters go and piss off into a shoot em up and die and stop ur spotty faces from perving on little kids u fuking wrong uns!!so there’s noobs about who want to ‘borrow’(lol)there neighbours IC!!big deal!!crime of the century that aint it!!but seeing as most of u put downers on ‘noobs’ r peado’s anyway wots ur problem!wankers.u really r snobs!!like I say…..wankers.
i consider myself a NOOB and I can hack all yall’s shit
Well first of all congratulations on making one the world worlds easiest tasks sound complicated. You’ve got two choices
1. Pay for your own internet
2. Put the effort in, read info on various top google results and its easy and don’t forget to use LINUX (but not linpus lite it’s shit)
Windows is better then LINUX if ur a NOOB
wiggggy@yahoo.co.uk Step by step help for LINUX noobs on 100% of common issues for $10 Paypal yeah boii ($20 if your hopeless)
wtf,,….all of these things is aiming for something freee,,…freeeee,…freee,…freeeee!!!! LOL.
Well if you use something then you must pay for it,..that’s just simple!!
I don’t know how to hack wpa and wpa2 networks but i know how to hack wep networks type their ssid and then with no spaces their security type then any short code like 5 keys long and then youre done. trust me it worked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Been reading through this thread and it makes depressing reading.Most people just want a simple way to hack onto a local wi-fi setup so they don’t have to pay for their internet.Well I’m not going to moralise on this or join in the mud slinging but please remember not everyone knows a vast amount about computers and a bit of help(instead of stupid name-calling) is all most people want. I’m not going to get involved in the linux/windows rubbish but there is another way….if you live fairly near to an open network get one of those delightful signal amplifiers from china that greatly extend the range of your setup hey presto free wi-fi without having to turn into a sad geek..
