How to Crack a Wi-Fi Network's WPA Password with Reaver
Here in this tutorial I will tell you how to crack WPA/ WPA2 network.
The thing you must know is :
- Wifi must be in good range.
- Wifi must have WPS Enable. (How to see WPS enable or not that will discuss below).
First of all you need a operating system which is backtrack 5R3.
To download Backtrack 5R3- click here
I hope you download this.
After that you have to boot this OS. So there is two option,
- boot using pendrive
- make a dvd
Let's crack..
Step 1: Boot into BackTrack :
Eventually BackTrack will boot to a command line prompt. When you've reached the prompt, typestartx
and press Enter. BackTrack will boot into its graphical interface. Step 2: Gather Your Device Information, Prep Your Cracking:
Inside the terminal type iwconfig
Press Enter. You should see a wireless device in the subsequent list. Most likely, it'll be named
wlan0
, but if you have more than one wireless card, or a more unusual networking setup, it may be named something different.
Put your wireless card into monitor mode: Assuming your wireless card's interface name is
wlan0
, execute the following command to put your wireless card into monitor mode:airmon-ng start wlan0
This command will output the name of monitor mode interface, which you'll also want to make note of. Most likely, it'll be
mon0
, like in the screenshot below. Make note of that.
Find the BSSID of the router you want to crack: Lastly,
you need to get the unique identifier of the router you're attempting
to crack so that you can point Reaver in the right direction. To do
this, execute the following command:
airodump-ng wlan0
(Note: If
airodump-ng wlan0
doesn't work for you, you may want to try the monitor interface instead—e.g., airodump-ng mon0
.)
You'll see a list of the wireless networks in range—it'll look something like the screenshot below:
When you see the network you want, press Ctrl+C to stop the list from
refreshing, then copy that network's BSSID (it's the series of letters,
numbers, and colons on the far left). The network should have WPA or
WPA2 listed under the ENC column.
Now, with the BSSID and monitor interface name in hand, you've got everything you need to start up Reaver.
Step 4: Crack a Network's WPA Password with Reaver
Now execute the following command in the Terminal, replacing
bssid
and moninterface
with the BSSID and monitor interface and you copied down above:reaver -i moninterface -b bssid -vv
For example, if your monitor interface was
mon0
like mine, and your BSSID was8D:AE:9D:65:1F:B2
(a BSSID I just made up), your command would look like: reaver -i mon0 -b 8D:AE:9D:65:1F:B2 -vv
Press Enter, sit back, and let Reaver work its disturbing magic. Reaver
will now try a series of PINs on the router in a brute force attack, one
after another. This will take a while. In my successful test, Reaver
took 2 hours and 30 minutes to crack the network and deliver me with the
correct password. As mentioned above, the Reaver documentation says it
can take between 4 and 10 hours, so it could take more or less time than
I experienced, depending. When Reaver's cracking has completed, it'll
look like this:
ALL DONE .. Good luck
A few important factors to consider:
Reaver worked exactly as advertised in my test, but it won't
necessarily work on all routers (see more below). Also, the router
you're cracking needs to have a relatively strong signal, so if you're
hardly in range of a router, you'll likely experience problems, and
Reaver may not work. Throughout the process, Reaver would sometimes
experience a timeout, sometimes get locked in a loop trying the same PIN
repeatedly, and so on. I just let it keep on running, and kept it close
to the router, and eventually it worked its way through.
Also of note, you can also pause your progress at any time by pressing
Ctrl+C while Reaver is running. This will quit the process, but Reaver
will save any progress so that next time you run the command, you can
pick up where you left off-as long as you don't shut down your computer
(which, if you're running off a live DVD, will reset everything).
