Dictionary file hacking

Step 1: Enable monitor mode on wireless interface airmon-ng start wlan0 This will start the monitor mode. Step 2: Take note of the nearest WiFi networks. Hacking Kali Linux Wireless Hacking. CUPP is developed in python and makes very personalized tool when it comes to password cracking. Before creating a wordlist, it will ask you the required information about your target. And will create the wordlist as per the information.

Initiate cupp first by typing:. Once initiated it will ask you the information about your target as shown in the image:. Give the required information and your wordlist will be generated as follows:. Next up tool is Pydictor. This is a special tool as it is the only tool that creates the wordlist both in normal words and in base64 encryption.

So if someone is smart enough to keep a safe password this tool will help you with it. Pydictor is written in python. There is two method to crack the password using this tool one creates a normal wordlist the other creates wordlist in base64 form.

We will try both methods. But first things first, this is a third party tool so we will have to install it and for it please type :. Once the tool is installed and ready to use, give it instructions on bases of what you want it to generate the wordlist using.

Understand the syntax first:. Branches Tags. Could not load branches. Could not load tags. Latest commit. Git stats 4 commits. The command to execute should look like:. Before proceeding with the attack, you need a passwords dictionary. This dictionary is basically a text file filename. For educational purposes, as this is a place to learn to code, we are going to write some C code. This file will contain the following C code that generates a number sequence from to a number for every line :.

The bigger the number, the more the combinations to try, therefore more time take the process to test. You only need to save the previous output into a file that will be used as a dictionary for our attack. Execute the following command to save it to a passwords. The trick is, that in this "passwords dictionary" there are possible combinations that will be tried. Obviously if the network has a secure password, not any of the generated "numbers passwords" should work, so if you are only testing, you can add the password of your Wi-Fi network to test it in the next step.

Your dictionary is just a text file in which every line is a possible password that aircrack will try to access the network later, in order to test if aircrack really works, you can simply create the passwords.

You can use obviously a "passwords database" to try with different combinations. Check out this question in the Security Forum of Stack Exchange that offers a lot of sources to get started with a passwords dictionary if you don't want to use simple numbers. You need to provide the BSSID, then the w argument that specifies the txt file with all the passwords to try and then the path to the. For example, replacing the values with our examples, the command should look like:.

The execution of the command should start the dictionary attack and will try to access the network with every single password in our dictionary. The duration of the process will vary according to the number of passwords in your dictionary.

If the password is found in the dictionary if found in the dictionary generated by our C code, then it was a really bad password That's it, you've just learned how to perform a dictionary attack to a Wi-Fi network using Aircrack!
