Ethical hacking can be exciting and fun. It’s like exploring a new world, gathering valuable information π, and uncovering secrets π΅οΈ. Remember, it’s critical to use these skills ethically. Hacking into your neighbor’s WiFi? Absolutely not. But learning the ropes can be thrilling and worthwhile. Start your ethical hacking journey today!
Overview
In this video, we will learn how to perform WiFi security audits using a tool called Aircrack. We will focus on auditing the security of my home WiFi network, emphasizing ethical practices throughout the process.
Setting Up
Before anything else, we need to obtain a dictionary. I recommend using ‘Rocky’. After that, we will activate the WiFi antenna in monitor mode. With the tool in place, we will move on to the next step.
Installing Aircrack
First, we need to install the Aircrack tool using the command sudo apt install aircrack-ng. Once installed, we will put our WiFi antenna in monitor mode.
Enumerating WiFi Networks
We will enumerate all the WiFi networks within our range using the tool Airodump. This process will provide us with crucial information about the networks and their security.
Aircrack Activation
We then initiate the attack and monitor the network to capture essential data. This includes identifying the target network, realizing the necessary stations, and obtaining the information required for the attack.
Final Brute Force Attack
Finally, we execute the Aircrack command that initiates the final and decisive brute force attack to uncover the WiFi network’s password.
Conclusion
This provides a basic understanding of ethical WiFi network auditing. We recommend using these skills solely for educational and protective purposes. You now have a foundation in WiFi hacking techniques, all carried out responsibly and within controlled environments.
