1. Getting a handshake (it contains the hash of password, i.e. encrypted password)

communicate in order to authenticate the client, they have a 4 way handshake that we can capture. This
handshake has the hash of the password. Now there's no direct way of getting the password out of the
hash, and thus hashing is a robust protection method. But there is one thing we can do. We can take all

itself to the client station (STA), and keys to encrypt the traffic need to be derived. The earlier EAP
exchange or WPA2-PSK has provided the shared secret key PMK (Pairwise Master Key). This key is,
however, designed to last the entire session and should be exposed as little as possible. Therefore the

four-way handshake is used to establish another key called the PTK (Pairwise Transient Key). The PTK is
generated by concatenating the following attributes: PMK, AP nonce (ANonce), STA nonce (SNonce), AP

MAC address, and STA MAC address. The product is then put through PBKDF2-SHA1 as the cryptographic
hash function.
The handshake also yields the GTK (Group Temporal Key), used to decrypt multicast and broadcast traffic.

The actual messages exchanged during the handshake are depicted in the figure and explained below:

1. The AP sends a nonce-value to the STA (ANonce). The client now has all the attributes to construct
the PTK.
2. The STA sends its own nonce-value (SNonce) to the AP together with a MIC, including
authentication, which is really a Message Authentication and Integrity Code: (MAIC).

3. The AP sends the GTK and a sequence number together with another MIC. This sequence number
will be used in the next multicast or broadcast frame, so that the receiving STA can perform basic
replay detection.
4. The STA sends a confirmation to the AP.
All the above messages are sent as EAPOL-Key frames.
As soon as the PTK is obtained it is divided into five separate keys:
PTK (Pairwise Transient Key 64 bytes)

Advertisement

1. 16 bytes of EAPOL-Key Confirmation Key (KCK) Used to compute MIC on WPA EAPOL Key message
2. 16 bytes of EAPOL-Key Encryption Key (KEK) - AP uses this key to encrypt additional data sent (in the
'Key Data' field) to the client (for example, the RSN IE or the GTK)
3. 16 bytes of Temporal Key (TK) Used to encrypt/decrypt Unicast data packets
4. 8 bytes of Michael MIC Authenticator Tx Key Used to compute MIC on unicast data packets
transmitted by the AP
5. 8 bytes of Michael MIC Authenticator Rx Key Used to compute MIC on unicast data packets
transmitted by the station
The Michael MIC Authenticator Tx/Rx Keys provided in the handshake are only used if the network is
using TKIP to encrypt the data.

By the way, if you didn't understand much of it then don't worry. There's a reason why people don't
search for hacking tutorials on Wikipedia (half the stuff goes above the head)

Capturing The Handshake

Now there are several (only 2 listed here) ways of capturing the handshake. We'll look at them one by
one1. Wifite (easy and automatic)
2. Airodump-ng (easy but not automatic, you manually have to do what wifite did on its own)

We'll go with the easy one first. Now you need to realize that for a handshake to be captured, there needs
to be a handshake. Now there are 2 options, you could either sit there and wait till a new client shows up
and connects to the WPA network, or you can force the already connected clients to disconnect, and
when they connect back, you capture their handshake. Now while other tutorials don't mention this, I will
(such a good guy I am :) ). Your network card is good at receiving packets, but not as good in creating
them. Now if your clients are very far from you, your deauth requests (i.e. please get off this connection

kind of problem is faced during ARP injection and other kind of attacks too). So, the idea is to be as close
to the access point (router) and the clients as possible. Now the methodology is same for wifite and
airodump-ng method, but wifite does all this crap for you, and in case of airodump-ng, you'll have to call a
brethren (airreply-ng) to your rescue. Okay enough theory.

Get the handshake with wifite

Now my configuration here is quite simple. I have my cellphone creating a wireless network named 'me'
protected with wpa-2. Now currently no one is connected to the network. Lets try and see what wifite can
do.

Now as you can see, my network showed up as 'me'. I pressed ctrl+c and wifite asked me which target to
attack (the network has wps enabled. This is an added bonus, reaver can save you from all the trouble.
Also, wifite will use reaver too to skip the whole WPA cracking process and use a WPS flaw instead. We
have a tutorial on hacking WPA WPS using Reaver already, in this tutorial we'll forget that this network has
WPS and capture the handshake instead)
[+] select target numbers (1-3) separated by commas, or 'all':
Now I selected the first target, i.e. me. As expected, it had two attacks in store for us. First it tried the PIN
guessing attack. It has almost 100% success rate, and would have given us the password had I waited for
2-3 hours. But I pressed ctrl+c and it tried to capture the handshake. I waited for 10-20 secs, and then
pressd ctrl+c. No client was there so no handshake could be captured. Here's what happened.

Now I connected my other PC to 'me'. Lets do it again. This time a client will show up, and wifite will deauthenticate it, and it'll try to connect again. Lets see what happens this time around.

NUM ESSID CH ENCR POWER WPS? CLIENT

--- -------------------- -- ---- ----- ---- ----- 1 * 1 WPA 99db no client
2 me 1 WPA2 47db wps client

Now the deauth attacks weren't working. This time I increased the deauth frequency.
root@kali:~#wifite -wpadt 1
Soon, however, I realized, that the problem was that I was using my internal card (Kali Live USB). It does
not support packet injection, so deauth wasn't working. So time to bring my external card to the scene.

Now I attack the target. This time, finally, I captured a handshake.

[+] disabling monitor mode on mon0... done
[+] quitting
As you can see, it took me 57 seconds to capture the handshake (5 deauth requests were sent, one every
10 secs is defualt). The no dictionary error shouldn't bother you. We'll use Wifite only to capture the
handshake. Now the captured handshake was saved as a .cap file which can be cracked using aircrack,
pyrit, hashcat (after converting .hccap), etc. using either a wordlist or bruteforce. Let's see how to do the
same thing with airodump-ng. This time I won't show you the problems you might run into. It'll be a
perfect ride, all the problems were seen in wifite case.

Capturing Handshake with Airodump-ng

Now if you skipped everything and got right here, then you are missing a lot of things. I'll end this pretty
quick, as the wifite thing was quite detailed. I'm copying stuff from
http://www.kalitutorials.net/2013/08/wifi-hacking-wep.html where I already discussed airodump-ng. (If
you are not a newbie, skip to the point where you see root@kali in red)

aireplay demands it. In my case airodump-ng says fixed channel mon0: -1 so this was required. (It's a bug
with aircrack-ng suite).
Now when you look at the airodump-ng screen, you'll see that at the top right it says WPA handshake
captured . Here is what it looks like
CH 1 ][ Elapsed: 24 s ][ 2014-06-13 22:41 ][ WPA handshake: **

You can confirm it by typing the following

Opening anynamehere-01.cap
Read 212 packets.
# BSSID ESSID Encryption

Happy cracking, all that needs to be done in this tutorial has been done. Its been a long one. Hope it
helped you. The next tutorial, if you need it, is about cracking the captured handshake. Good luck.

Does using Live USB enable the internal wireless card enable it to inject packets easier to establish
the handshakes or does the computer/laptop need to have an external wireless card to inject
packets to get the handshake, regardless of using the Live USB?

Also, wifite does that automatically after selecting the network. Or you can do it

find the newest version. Solutions are shown on this site for example:
http://www.rootsh3ll.com/2015/10/rwsps-automated-wifi-wep-wpa2-wpscracking-ch4/ . You will basically just have to update manually.

is there a way for us to decrypt the captured file from our handshake? well dictionary attacks are not
that good not unless you have all the combinations of ASCII words in one list or so, Crunch will eat
your box's resources if we will use it for that kind of attack as well.
Is it possible?

I
recommend
to
read
this
article
about
hashcat:
https://www.blackmoreops.com/2014/03/27/cracking-wpa-wpa2-with-hashcatkali-linux/
and
this
one
about
Pyrite
and
Cowpatty:
https://www.blackmoreops.com/2014/03/10/cracking-wifi-wpawpa2-passwordsusing-pyrit-cowpatty/.
They are both really good written and can save you some time when it comes to
decrypting.
But
what
you
might
have
thought
of
is
this:
http://nullbyte.wonderhowto.com/forum/kali-linux-rolling-2-0-fluxion-crack-wpa-wpa2-wifipassword-without-dictionary-brute-fore-attack-0170864/
It's author claims to crack the password without brute force/Dictionary. I haven't
really looked at it yet, so no guarantee this works.

This site is amazing. However, i've installed kali linux on the hard-drive of a windows vista machine.
The wireless adapter is a broadcom bcm4311 802.11b/g. I've used both wifite and airmonng/airreplay-ng and on both, i watch my other machine (a chromebook) disconnect due to the
deauth broadcast. But when it reconnects right away, neither airmon nor wifite capture the
handshake. I've got all three devices (2 computers and router) in the same room. Could there be a
setting i'm missing? Or maybe my Wireless Adapter isnt compatible? What could be the issue
here? There's no error it just keeps cycling trying to deauthenticate and capture the handshake.

Little more information: When i use the command airmon-ng start wlan0 to start
the monitoring interface, it shows the interface, says the driver is b43, and under
chipset, it says "non-mac80211 device? (report this!). Idk if that has anything to
do with it?

I don't know why you have written a comment about Fluxion here. Anyways, I'm
not able to understand exactly what is going on, so could you follow the steps
that I have shown in the Fluxion tutorial, and then tell exactly where you are
facing issues (and comment on that post itself, not here).
