Intro: How to Hack Wifi (and how to avoid being hacked): WEP/WPA/WPA2
This guide is meant to show how easy it is to hack wireless networks if the proper security measures are not in place. First I will show how to hack a WEP or WPA/WPA2 Network and then I will give tips on how to avoid getting hacked. This is important information in our techno-savy culture. If your Wireless network is compromised you can be liable for any illegal activity on it. There are numerous stories of child pornographers and black-hat hackers using other peoples wireless networks. NOTE: Hacking your neighbours or anyone else's Wifi without their permission is ILLEGAL. Be smart!

-Click on "Start sniffing and logging" and leave the terminal open. -Once the wireless network you want to crack* shows up (has to be WEP encryption of course) select the WEP Attacks (with clients). *note that the PWR has to be high enough to work so the closer you can get, the better. -There you click on Associate with AP using fake auth, wait a few seconds and click on ARP request replay. 5. Once the Data number reaches over 10,000 you are ready to try and crack the key, but don't close any windows yet. -Go to the cracking tab and click on Aircrack-ng Decrypt WEP password under Wep Cracking. It will take a few seconds to minutes to crack the password and then you are good to go.

5: aircrack-ng w wordlist.lst -b **:**:**:**:**:** filename.cap Step 5 is now trying to crack the password in "filename.cap" using a dictionary, here called "wordlist.lst" you can download a good 200 million word dictionary here (128MB but unzipped is 800MB). 6. If the password isn't found in the dictionary you can try and brute-force the password with this command: (Note this could take a very long time depending on their password strength). /pentest/password/jtr/john --stdout --incremental:all | aircrack-ng -b **:**:**:**:**:** -w - filename.cap

Step 5: Passwords
You have to have good passwords in this day and age. If not your credit card information, your personal information and identity are available to those who want to use it and abuse it. Here are some guidelines to coming up with a secure password: 1. At least 8 characters. 2. At least one number, letter and special character ie: $ # % ^ @ ! 3. NOT based on a dictionary word 4. Multiple transitions: ie: aaa111aaa111 not aaaa11111. How can I remember these passwords? Come up with a word such as: calculus and substitute numbers and other characters for letters ie: c@1cu1u$ This is still based on a dictionary word so append something to it such as your favorite number: 37 Also, use a different password for every website, how can you do this easily? Remember random variables in algebra? Have a random variable in your password that is based on the website or some other information. IE: XpasswordY where the first X is the last letter of the website name and the last Y is the first letter of the website name: So the Instructables website password would be SpasswordI or your facebook password would be KpasswordF and your hotmail password will be LpasswordH. It might seem like a lot but it's not and it's worth the time not having your identity stolen and your life ruined.
