How to hack WIFI using a cell phone

  • Kali Linux: Wifite is included in Kali Linux distributions.
  • Compatible WiFi Adapter: A USB WiFi adapter that supports monitor mode and packet injection (e.g., Alfa AWUS036NHA).
  • Root Access: You need to run Wifite with root privileges.

Steps to Use Wifite

1. Install Wifite (if not pre-installed)

Wifite typically comes pre-installed with Kali Linux. If you need to install it:

bash

Copy
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install wifite

2. Connect the WiFi Adapter

  • Plug in your compatible WiFi adapter to your computer.

3. Launch Wifite

  • Open a terminal and start Wifite with the following command:

bash

Copy
sudo wifite

4. Scan for Networks

  • Wifite will automatically scan for nearby WiFi networks. It will display a list of available networks along with their details, such as:
    • BSSID (MAC address of the access point)
    • Signal strength
    • Encryption type (WPA, WPA2, etc.)

5. Select a Target Network

  • Wifite allows you to select a network by entering the corresponding number. If you want to attack multiple networks, you can select them as well.

6. Capture Handshake

  • Wifite will attempt to capture the handshake automatically. It may use deauthentication attacks to force clients to reconnect, allowing the capture of the handshake.
  • If successful, Wifite will save the handshake in a .cap file for later cracking.

7. Crack the Password

  • Wifite can attempt to crack the captured handshake using built-in wordlists or specified ones.
  • If it doesn’t succeed automatically, you can use tools like aircrack-ng manually:

bash

Copy
aircrack-ng [FILE_NAME].cap -w [WORDLIST_PATH]

8. Review Results

  • If the password is cracked, it will be displayed in the terminal.

Tips for Successful Attacks

  • Use a good wordlist: A comprehensive wordlist like rockyou.txt can improve your chances of cracking the password.
  • Monitor Mode: Ensure your WiFi adapter is in monitor mode for effective packet capture.
  • Signal Strength: Focus on networks with strong signals for better capture success.
