Crunch 8 8 aircrack-ng -a 2 /home/tc/INFINITUMCBA277-02.cap -e INFINITUMCBA277 -b 58:98:35:CB:A2:77 -w -. So we start with the first instruction: crunch is the wordlist generator crunch 8 8. crunch 8 8. Second: the ' 8 8' is for the length of the word in characters, the first ' 8' indicates starting length and the second ' 8' the ending length. So if you want to test your security with 16 characters password you can change to '16 16,' or '8 16.' . crunch 8 8.
Third: ' ' this is the list of characters to include in the wordlist for a numeric password. Note: 75% of users use numeric passwords. But you can also try something like: '0abcdefghijklf' by using an alphanumeric wordlist the time will increase as this is a brute force method.
aircrack-ng. Fourth: this symbol is very important -.
Hi, I'm doing a pen testing course and I am trying to work with aircrack-ng. I decided to practice by trying to hack my wifi password. So far everything has gone perfect. I just finished getting a WPA handshake and now I am trying to crack the password with Aircrack and crunch and I am typing in this command - crunch 10 10 -t%CF4DC%%%% aircrack-ng -w - SCANtest-01.cap -e 'my networks essid' the return is - ///////////////////////////////////////////////////// opening SCANtest-01.cap crunch will now generate the following amount of data: 1100000 bytes 1 MB 0 GB 0 TB 0 PB crunch will now generate the following number of lines: 100000 opening SCANtest-01.cap opening SCANtest-01.capwait.
No matching network found - check your essid. //////////////////////////////////////////////////// The essid I am entering is definitely correct so I don't understand why it's doing this. Can anyone help?
I'm a big fan of Linux and am trying out different programs and stumbled across Aircrack-ng, I was then trying to get into my home networks but I seem to be having some trouble using it in the Linux terminal can someone please help me, (I'm using the latest fedora if that makes a difference thanks, also can you please give me step by step instructions because the main Aircrack-ng website wasn't much help thanks again). So the problem is after I type 'su -' then it prompts me for my root password I then type the root password then that's all fine, then when I type 'Aircrack-ng' it give me a list of all the usages then when I again type 'Aicrack-ng -e' for a network identifier it keeps on telling me: aircrack-ng: option requires an argument — 'e' What do I do please help. Finally I don't know why the commands don't really work on my computer because when I type them in it just doesn't work. Thanks for your help guys. Paper mario the thousand year door iso. Aircrack-ng is only one program in the suite of 802.11 security auditing tools. The actual aircrack-ng is a program that takes a capture file and determines the WEP or WPA key based on several types of weaknesses in the protocols, or based on a dictionary attack. The '-e' option to aircrack-ng specifies that you wish to use the ESSID (the name of the wireless network).
This means you're targeting aircrack-ng on that single wireless network. The '-e' option therefore requires one argument – the name of the wireless network. The main Aircrack-ng website wasn't much help thanks again). Yes, it provides ample documentation – for example this page: can you please give me step by step instructions Not really.
The website has a lot of documentation and usage examples, and I expect you'll not find many people willing to help you break into any type of network, no matter the reason.

Penetration Testing is not illegal if both parties consent. As people helping on the forums in Australia we should assume that under our democracy the op is law-abiding. Innocent until proven guilty. Nowhere does the op specify he is not authorized to use the network he is 'breaking into'. That leaves us helpers off the legal hook if he is fibbing anyway. I'm going to be having a crack at aircrack-ng myself as I live in a densely populated area. I want to make sure I don't have parasites who are too cheap to pay for their own internet.
In saying all this – RTFM rules still apply. It's when you don't find what you want after thoroughly reading that you should ask on a forum really.

I didn't say it was illegal, just that I personally would be reticent to provide specific network penetration advice to someone asking on an internet forum. I'd be looking for protection provided by contract rather than anonymity.
That leaves us helpers off the legal hook if he is fibbing anyway. The problem I have with this is that it's not usually so black and white in a courtroom. I personally would avoid this by recommending that someone read the documents themselves rather than be too specific. ('Here's exactly how you crack network X' vs 'Here's a document that could help you test a theoretical network'). In saying all this – RTFM rules still apply.

As people helping on the forums in Australia we should assume that under our democracy the op is law-abiding. O.P started exactly the same thread last week, in which I stated something similar – that providing he can demonstrate it's for personal use it shouldn't be against the rules to discuss this here – however the thread was soon after deleted.
I'm not sure if this was admin discretion or the WP rules. To the admin's credit however, the thread did have a tone of illegitimacy and unless you really demonstrate to us why you need step by step help, noone is going to help you (here). If this is something so important for you to learn, your going to need to learn more about using the command line, it's arguments, networking and linux in general before you can be any good at this. (or stick to the windows version with a GUI frontend). But mostly WPA + WPA 2. You do realise that WPA can only be brute forced at the moment. How strong are your keys?
That should be enough to tell you how strong your encryption is. Considering it is your home network, you should associate and disassociate a different adapter so you can capture the 4 way handshake. When I know there is because their my networks and I can see them in panel inside the networking section but they just don't show up in the terminal. Are you disabling network manager from taking control of your wireless device? If your adapter is already associated then aircrack will not be able to scan. What do you mean what do you mean?
You posted a command where aircrack is supposed to analyse packets, and that it couldnt find the file. So I asked you – What are you using to capture the packets, and where are you storing them. No offence, but I have a feeling you have absolutely no idea what you are doing. Learn the basics of linux before you starting delving into aircrack. I dont get it what do you mean where am I storing it and how do I know what I am using to capture it.
And btw I've been using linux for ages but haven't really been using the code in terminal much that all. Tux we can't do.everything. for you.
The problem is that every system is different. Different hardware leads to different solutions or limitations until they are fixed. You really really need to read through one of the guides posted in the previous pages and ask us for assistance when.a. particular problem arises. Have you read through the basic CLI guide that I listed before.
Your original post states this: aircrack-ng: option requires an argument — 'e' What do I do please help. Please read the CLI guide and come back to us when you are done. Your first task is to go out and find out what an argument is, and then come back to us with the solution to your original problem. So, two things: Tell us what an argument (to a command) is, and tell us what the -e switch does. That I have a Intel Chipset ipw2200 will i need to patch or install any drivers? You could need to patch wireless drivers source code to enable sniffing and monitor-mode features.
Patches are provided in /usr/share/doc/packages/aircrack-ng/patches. If you need more please check here: What above also means that you have to have a crack at compiling/patching the kernel wireless driver Ipw2200 can inject, but only in certain conditions:. Card has to be in managed mode and associated to an ap.
It can only inject data packets. With this in mind, aireplay-ng attacks 2 and 4 are possible, and probably also 3. Attacks 2 and 4 have been successfully tested.
If you have latest aircrack-ng version, it comes with the required patches for ipw2200. Sounds like OP wants something like this: $ aircrack-ng -ssid MyWireless -type wep Working. WEP password is '0mgh4x0r' Well it doesn't work that way. I typed 'aircrack-ng tutorial' into Google and got tons of relevant results. I suggest you start. I can see link on that page like 'Tutorial: How To Patch Drivers' and 'Linux Newbie Guide'.
An argument, also called a command line argument, is a file name or other data that is provided to a command in order for the command to use it as an input. A command is an instruction telling a computer to do something, such as execute (i.e., run) a program.
You quite obviously copy-pasted that so you can clearly use Google. Now you should read what you pasted and see if you can understand it. I can run into monitor mode fine but it's when I actually start one of the aircrack-ng tests that it keeps on telling me: '23:58:23 Testing connection to injection device 127.0.0.1:666 connect: Connection refused Failed to connect' The command I'm using is 'aireplay-ng -9 127.0.0.1:666' is it not working because I didn't install drivers or because I haven't selected a network or is it because of something else? Also can someone tell me how to find an access point MAC address cause I cant seem to find out how thanks.:) =TUXtuxTUX=. I've done heaps more research and figured out the main things on Aircrack-ng now I'm up to using it.
So I've got monitor mode and 'airodump-ng mon0' to monitor all channels and that's fine but when I try and select a specific access point e.g. Airodump-ng -c 6 bssid 00:0F:CC:7D:5A:74 -w data mon0 It doesn't work and I've filled in all the correct information. I'm not exactly sure but do I type the information in the example inside a new tab or keep it in the same tab as the one I was scanning access points with. I've done heaps more research and figured out the main things on Aircrack-ng now I'm up to using it.
Seriously, well done:) I'm not exactly sure but do I type the information in the example inside a new tab or keep it in the same tab as the one I was scanning access points with. You need to stop airodump scanning all channels before you can scan a specific channel and ssid.
Write down the SSID on a piece of paper, then stop airodump from scanning all channels, then set airodump to monitor the particular ssid using the command you quoted. WPA(2): requires a client to be connected to the network. Be root. Use sudo -i on ubuntu or use backtrack and be root already. Set card into monitor mode to effectively capture traffic. Airmon-ng start iface where iface is the interface you want to set into monitor mode.
Usually is wlan0, ath0, etc. Sniff the air. Airodump-ng moniface where moniface is the monitor-mode interface you set with airmon-ng.
Usually is wlan0, mon0, etc. Wait until desired target has shown up and then exit airodump-ng by Ctrl+C. Write down bssid, channel, encryption, essid to a file or on physical pad. Input these values into next command airodump-ng -c chan -w file -d bssid -t WPA moniface where chan is the channel of the bssid you want to hone in on will be an integer 1-13, file is the output file you want to save as.
The bssid name is usually a good candidate for this. Bssid is the bssid of the target access point.t WPA concentrates on WPA-enabled traffic but is least necessary. Moniface is as before leave this running and then open up a new console or tab to simultaneously run a deauth attack: aireplay-ng -0 1 -a bssid -c clientbssid moniface -a is access point -c is the already connected clientbssid.0 specifies aireplay's deauth attack, the number after it is the amount of times. If you are close enough to the AP, 1 should do it, otherwise try running the attack with 5, 10, 20 instances. If successful, your airodump-ng tab/console will have WPA handshake: 01:2:3:$2: etc up in the top of the program. Means the handshake is captured and now can move onto cracking the password via brute force with dictionary. You're completely lost.
No not really I just want to know how to speed up DATA collection Make sure your card supports packet monitoring/injection Yes I have ipw2200 Run airmon-ng to get a monitoring interface. Mon0 Yes got that working Run airodump-ng to capture the packets. Yes done as well Run aireplay-ng to inject packets. Not too sure about this step, I can see the packets being sent but It doesn't speed up the scan (If that's what's supposed to happen) Run aircrack-ng to analyse the captured packets Haven't got up-to this yet.????
Why is it that you want to crack it so badly? To be honest, you really need to learn more about what WEP cracking involves, how wireless networking works and Linux (if that's what you're running aircrack-ng on). Reading and c&p-ing commands from tutorials you found on the net isn't going to teach you much. Also, out of curiosity, how old are you?
I'm using eth1 and that is my interface. So there must be something else that's gone wrong. You mentioned you were using wlan0 before. Shouldn't that be mon0? Also how long will it take to capture data?
Before you try to inject with aireplay-ng -3, you need to fake associate with the access point, aireplay-ng -1 or the access point will drop your packets I don't know about ipw2200 but for the iwlagn driver, I had to use a work around. Edit: You aren't just copying and pasting commands from a website are you? I noticed the BSSIDs you've posted don't match up. Why is it that you want to crack it so badly? I don't want to crack so badly I just want to learn how to use it and learn about the weaknesses of WEP/WPA/WPA2 so I'm testing them on my networks. To be honest, you really need to learn more about what WEP cracking involves, how wireless networking works and Linux (if that's what you're running aircrack-ng on).
Okay You mentioned you were using wlan0 before. Shouldn't that be mon0? My network interface is eth1 its irrelevant what different interfaces I type I'll end up changing it later. I don't know about ipw2200 but for the iwlagn driver, I had to use a work around.
Okay Edit: You aren't just copying and pasting commands from a website are you? I noticed the BSSIDs you've posted don't match up. Don't worry about the different BSSIDs I'll change it later and yes I am copying and pasting commands because I sometimes forget them. Thanks again for your help:). Refer to the above link for a typical screenshot of airodump-ng. The top section lists all the access points and their detected properties (BSSID, encryption, ESSID, etc) Further down there's another BSSID and Station section – this is the result of what airodump-ng could find of the wireless clients in the area. The top one is not associated with an access point because it says so, whereas the rest of these clients are attached to a specific network.
For example, clients 2, 3 and 4 are all connected to access point with the BSSID, 00:1D:7E:64:9A:7C, which ESSID is named infected. In this example, a WPA handshake has already been captured, as seen at the top of airodump-ng's display – WPA handshake: 00:1D:7E:64:9A:7C So what you'd do is set your card into monitor mode, sniff the air and hone in on that specific access point (as an example): airodump-ng -w wpatest -d 00:1D:7E:64:9A:7C -c 6 mon0 that's all you need to include for sniffing WPA traffic.
It will create a file called wpatest.cap in the current directory but it is useless unless you can get a handshake. So you leave airodump-ng running and you open up another console and do: aireplay-ng -0 5 -a 00:1D:7E:64:9A:7C -c 00:25:D3:0B:71:15 mon0 which will send out deauthentication packets to the client. The client will usually try to automatically reconnect, in which case, a handshake should appear in the airodump-ng session up the top. Mon0 is replaceable with whatever interface you're using and obviously if you copy and paste these commands they will not work as your environment and identifiers will be different. Refer to the above link for a typical screenshot of airodump-ng.
How To Find Essid
The top section lists all the access points and their detected properties (BSSID, encryption, ESSID, etc) Yes I get that when I do it but I just don't receive a WPA handshake notification in the corner do I wait longer or what do I have to do? In this example, a WPA handshake has already been captured, as seen at the top of airodump-ng's display – WPA handshake: 00:1D:7E:64:9A:7C Yes you made it very easy for me thanks. Which will send out deauthentication packets to the client. The client will usually try to automatically reconnect, in which case, a handshake should appear in the airodump-ng session up the top. Now I get it. Mon0 is replaceable with whatever interface you're using and obviously if you copy and paste these commands they will not work as your environment and identifiers will be different. Yes I have been copying and pasting commands but editing where I have to like the BSSID's and interfaces.
After a long night running through kismet, airdump, aireplay, some other tools and gathering packets I finally got ready to fire up aircrack. I used: Code: aircrack-ng -b XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX test.ivs and of course I got a 'File not found' refering to test.ivs. I fired up a text editor and saved 'test' with a.ivs exception to get a failed success opening the header. I discovered I needed to use makeivs-ng to do this. I read the -help and man file but kept getting this error saying I needed to set the -k option, but then everything I tried for it didn't work. (It suggested 5,13,23 and I tried 40 and 128 but none of those worked for the WEP key length?
What do I do??? Experienced User Posts: 74 Joined: Thu Sep 18, 2008 9:53 pm Blog:. Funny, I had read that and it was still open in my browser. I had changed the options a little to avoid channel hopping but I added the output option back in. It saved it with.cap instead of.iv though, but I saw aircrack could use that too. Thanks for keeping me going. Maybe I can finally sleep now EDIT: More Problems.
Using Aircrack
Code: me@mybox:/home/Me# aircrack-ng -z -b XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX./output-01.cap Opening./output-01.cap No matching network found - check your bssid. Me@mybox:/home/Me# aircrack-ng -z -e theSSID./output-01.cap Opening./output-01.cap Read 624 packets. No networks found, exiting. I tried all the macs and ssid's I could. Same results.
