What Is A Wireless Network?

A wireless network is a network that uses radio waves to link computers and other devices together. The implementation is done at the Layer 1 (physical layer) of the OSI model.

How to Access A Wireless Network?

You will need a wireless network enabled device such as a laptop, tablet, smartphones, etc. You will also need to be within the transmission radius of a wireless network access point. Most devices (if the wireless network option is turned on) will provide you with a list of available networks. If the network is not password protected, then you just...

Wireless Network Authentication

Since the network is easily accessible to everyone with a wireless network enabled device, most networks are password protected. Let’s look at some of the most commonly used authentication techniques.

Wep

WEP is the acronym for Wired Equivalent Privacy. It was developed for IEEE 802.11 WLAN standards. Its goal was to provide the privacy equivalent to that provided by wired networks. WEP works by encrypting the data been transmitted over the network to keep it safe from eavesdropping.

WPA

WPA is the acronym for Wi-Fi Protected Access. It is a security protocol developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance in response to the weaknesses found in WEP. It is used to encrypt data on 802.11 WLANs. It uses higher Initial Values 48 bits instead of the 24 bits that WEP uses. It uses temporal keys to encrypt packets.

Wifi Password Hacker (WEP Cracking) Tools

Aircrack– network sniffer and WEP cracker. This WiFi password hacker tool can be downloaded from http://www.aircrack-ng.org/

WPA Cracking

WPA uses a 256 pre-shared key or passphrase for authentications. Short passphrases are vulnerable to dictionary attacks and other attacks that can be used to crack passwords. The following WiFi hacker online tools can be used to crack WPA keys. 1. CowPatty– this WiFi password cracker tool is used to crack pre-shared keys (PSK) using brute force att...

General Attack Types

Sniffing– this involves intercepting packets as they are transmitted over a network. The captured data can then be decoded using tools such as Cain & Abel.

Can a wifi password be hacked?

It is possible to crack the WEP/WPA keys used to gain access to a wireless network. Doing so requires software and hardware resources, and patience. The success of such WiFi password hacking attacks can also depend on how active and inactive the users of the target network are.

What is the best WiFi hacking tool for PC?

Angry IP Scanner It is one of the best Wifi hacking tool for PC for scanning IP addresses and ports. It can scan both local networks as well as the internet.

How do I protect my WiFi network?

With tools like Wireshark and Aircrack, you can perform security audits of your WiFi networks. While Wireshark can help you watch what is happening on your network, Aircrack is more of an offensive tool that lets you attack and gain access to WiFi networks. Thinking like an attacker has always been the best way to defend against a network.

How do you get information about a hacked wireless card?

You first want to get information about the target. This is what hackers call reconnaissance. In order to do that you need to first change your wireless card from ‘managed’ mode to ‘monitor’ mode. This will turn it from a mere network card to a wireless network reader. First you need to find out the name of your wireless card.
