Aircrack-ng is a powerful tool for hacking WiFi networks in Kali Linux. To install Aircrack-ng, open a terminal window and type the following command: sudo apt-get install aircrack-ng. This will install the latest version of Aircrack-ng on your system. Once the installation is complete, you can start using Aircrack-ng to hack WiFi networks.
sudo apt-get install aircrack-ng
In order to use Aircrack-ng for WiFi hacking in Kali Linux, you need to put your wireless card into monitor mode. Monitor mode allows your wireless card to capture all the packets sent over the air, which is necessary for cracking the password. To put your wireless card into monitor mode, you need to use the airmon-ng command. This command will list all the wireless cards connected to your system, and then you can select the one you want to put into monitor mode. Once you have selected the card, you can use the airmon-ng start command to put it into monitor mode. This command will create a new virtual interface, which you can use to capture packets. For example, if your wireless card is named wlan0, the command airmon-ng start wlan0 will create a new virtual interface named wlan0mon. You can then use this interface to capture packets.
To learn more about the airmon-ng command and how to use it to put your wireless card into monitor mode, you can check out the official Aircrack-ng documentation.
In order to use Aircrack-ng to crack a WiFi password, you first need to scan for wireless networks. To do this, open a terminal window in Kali Linux and type the following command: airodump-ng wlan0. This command will scan for all available wireless networks and display the results in the terminal window. You can also use the airodump-ng --encrypt WEP wlan0 command to scan for WEP encrypted networks.
Once the scan is complete, you will see a list of available wireless networks. Look for the network you want to crack and note down the BSSID (the MAC address of the access point) and the channel it is using. You can also use the airodump-ng --bssid [BSSID] --channel [channel] wlan0 command to scan for a specific network.
Once you have the BSSID and channel of the network you want to crack, you can move on to the next step of the process. For more information on using Aircrack-ng to scan for wireless networks, check out the official Aircrack-ng documentation.
Capturing packets is an important step in WiFi hacking using Aircrack-ng in Kali Linux. To capture packets, you need to put your wireless card into monitor mode. This mode allows you to capture all the packets that are sent and received by the wireless network. To do this, you need to use the airmon-ng command. This command will put your wireless card into monitor mode and create a new interface. You can then use this interface to capture packets. To capture packets, you need to use the airodump-ng command. This command will scan for all the wireless networks in the area and capture the packets that are sent and received by them. You can then use these packets to crack the password of the wireless network.
airmon-ng start wlan0 airodump-ng wlan0mon
Once you have captured the packets, you can use them to crack the password of the wireless network. To do this, you need to use the aircrack-ng command. This command will analyze the packets and try to crack the password of the wireless network. You can also use other tools such as Hashcat to crack the password of the wireless network.
aircrack-ng -w password.txt -b [BSSID] [capture file]
Now that you have captured the packets, you can use Aircrack-ng to crack the password. To do this, you will need to use the aircrack-ng command. This command will take the captured packets and attempt to crack the password. To use the command, type aircrack-ng [capture file]. This will start the process of cracking the password. It may take some time, depending on the complexity of the password. Once the process is complete, you will be presented with the password.
It is important to note that the aircrack-ng command is only able to crack WEP passwords. If the network is using WPA or WPA2 encryption, you will need to use a different tool, such as Hashcat.
