#How to find wpa2 hash crack

You can now proceed to crack the handshake(s) either by dictionary attack or brute-force.

In order to do so, we can either use this online service, or install the hashcat-utils ourselves and convert the file locally: 1 Once we have succesfully captured the EAPOL frames required by hashcat in order to crack the PSK, weвЂ™ll need to convert the pcap output file to the hccapx format that hashcat can read.

The downsides of this attack are obvious: no clients = no party, moreover, given we need to wait for at least one of them to reconnect, it can potentially take some time. Not only bettercap will check for complete handshakes and dump them only when all the required packets have been captured, but it will also append to the file one beacon packet for each AP, in order to allow any tool reading the pcap to detect both the BSSIDs and the ESSIDs. If everything worked as expected and youвЂ™re close enough to the AP and the clients, bettercap will start informing you that complete handshakes have been captured (you can customize the pcap file output by changing the parameter): Once they will reconnect, hopefully, bettercap will capture the needed EAPOL frames of the handshake that weвЂ™ll later pass to hashcat for cracking (replace e0:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx with the BSSID of your target AP): 1 What we want to do now is forcing one or more of the client stations (we can see 5 of them for this AP) to disconnect by forging fake deauthentication packets. # every second, clear our view and present an updated list of nearby WiFi networksДЄssuming Casa-2.4 is the network we want to attack, letвЂ™s stick to channel 1 in order to avoid jumping to other frequencies and potentially losing useful packets: 1 # we want our APs sorted by number of clients for this attack, the default sorting would be `rssi asc` # this will set the interface in monitor mode and start channel hopping on all supported frequencies On newer macOS laptops, the builtin WiFi interface `en0` already supports monitor mode, meaning you won't need a Linux VM in order to run this :) Deauth and 4-way Handshake CaptureДЇirst thing first, letвЂ™s try a classical deauthentication attack: weвЂ™ll start bettercap, enable the wifi.recon module with channel hopping and configure the ticker module to refresh our screen every second with an updated view of the nearby WiFi networks (replace wlan0 with the interface you want to use): 1
