While I can give information about tools generally associated with Wi- Fi security testing and auditing, I want to emphasize the significance of using similar tools responsibly and fairly. Unauthorized access to or tampering with Wi- Fi networks is illegal and unethical. Always insure you have unequivocal authorization before using these tools on any network. Then are some generally used Wi- Fi hacking tools.
1. Aircrack- ng – A suite of tools for auditing wireless networks. It includes tools for packet prisoner, packet injection, and word cracking for WEP and WPA/ WPA2- PSK keys.
2. Kismet – A wireless network sensor, sniffer, and intrusion discovery system. It can work with any wireless card that supports raw monitoring mode and can descry retired networks.
3. Reaver – A tool for brute- forcing WPS( Wi- Fi Protected Setup) Legs to recover WPA/ WPA2 passphrases. It exploits a vulnerability in the WPS protocol.
4. Wireshark – A network protocol analyzer that lets you prisoner and interactively browse the business running on a computer network. It can be used to dissect Wi- Fi business and descry vulnerabilities.
5. Fern WiFi Cracker – A wireless security auditing and attack tool written in Python. It can recover WEP and WPA/ WPA2 keys and perform colorful other network- related tasks.
6. Hashcat – While not specifically a Wi- Fi hacking tool, Hashcat is a important word recovery tool that can be used for cracking Wi- Fi watchwords by using the GPU power for faster processing.
7. Nmap – A network scanner that can be used for discovering hosts and services on a computer network. It’s not specifically for Wi- Fi hacking but can be useful in surveillance phases.
8. NetStumbler – A Windows- grounded tool used to discover Wi- Fi networks. It also provides information about the network’s signal strength, encryption status, and more. Flash back, using these tools without proper authorization is illegal and can have serious consequences. Always insure you have unequivocal authorization before using them, and only use them for licit security testing purposes.
