Jul 21, 2017 - In my last post, we cracked WPA2 using aircrack-ng. In this tutorial, we'll use a piece of software developed by wireless security. Divided by 2; Alphanumeric characters Years with 1 PC Years with 10 PCs. (0 seconds/pin).

As part of my series on hacking Wi-Fi, I want to demonstrate another excellent piece of hacking software for cracking WPA2-PSK passwords, coWPAtty. In this tutorial, we’ll use the piece of software developed by wireless security researcher Joshua Wright (often stylized as coWPAtty).

This app simplifies and speeds up the dictionary/hybrid attack against WPA2 passwords. It is easier than you think, so let’s get to it! Step 1: Find the Cowpatty Cowpatty is one of the hundreds of pieces of software that are included in the BackTrack [] and Kali [] OS’s. If you are using a different Distro, you can download and install. For this demo, I will be using BackTrack. For some reason in BackTrack, it was not placed in the /pentest/wireless directory, but instead was left in the /usr/local/bin directory, so let’s navigate there. Cd /usr/local/bin Because cowpatty is in the /usr/local/bin directory and this directory should be in your PATH, we should be able to run it from any directory in BackTrack.

Step 2: Find the Cowpatty Help Screen To get a brief rundown of the cowpatty options, simply type: cowpatty BackTrack will provide you a brief help screen. Take a note that cowpatty requires all of the following: • a word list • a file where the password hash has been captured • the SSID of the target AP Step 3: Find the AP Just as in cracking with aircrack-ng, we need to put the wireless adapter into monitor mode. Airmon-ng start wlan0 Now, look at the available APs using the monitor interface and airodump: airodump-ng mon0 leave this screen by hitting CTRL+C Step 4: Start a Capture File Next, we need to start a capture file where the hashed password will be stored when we capture the 4-way handshake. Airodump-ng –bssid 00:25:9C:97:4F:48 -c 9 -w cowcrack mon0 This will start a dump on the selected AP (00:25:9C:97:4F:48), on the selected channel (-c 9) and save the the hash in a file named cowcrack.

Step 5: Capture the Handshake Now when someone connects to the AP, we’ll capture the hash and airdump-ng will show us it has been captured in the upper right-hand corner. Some people just wait for a computer to connect. Autodesk autocad 2012 x64 64bit product key and xforce keygen. Other people send DEAUTH packets to kick them off the wifi, and then they automatically connect again, at which time you will capture the handshake. I may cover this tomorrow or the next day.

Step 6: Run the Cowpatty Now that we have the hash of the password, we can use it with cowpatty and our wordlist to crack the hash. Cowpatty -f /pentest/passwords/wordlists/darkc0de.lst -r /root/cowcrack-01.cap -s Mandela2 As you can see in the screenshot above, cowpatty is generating a hash of every word on our wordlist with the SSID as a seed and comparing it to the captured hash. When the hashes match, it dsplays the password of the AP.
