“Hacking Wifi” sounds really cool and interesting. But actually hacking wifi practically is much easier with a
good wordlist. But this world list is of no use until we don’t have any idea of how to actually use that word list in
order to crack a hash. And before cracking the hash we actually need to generate it. So, below are those steps along
with some good wordlists to crack a WPA/WPA2 wifi.
Note: Use the below methods only for educational/testing purposes on your own wifi or with the permission of the
owner. Don’t use this for malicious purposes.
So, boot up Kali Linux. Open the terminal window. And perform the following steps.
Step 1: ifconfig(interface configuration) : To view or change the configuration of the network interfaces on your
system.
ifconfig

When the client is disconnected from the target network. He tries to reconnect to the network and when he does you
will get something called WPA handshake in the previous window of the terminal.
Now, we are done with capturing the packets. So, now you can close the terminal window.
