#BEST WPA2 WORDLIST 2018 PASSWORD#
The word password should never be used for a real password or passphrase and I’m using it here since I know the Fern program will quickly crack it. I’m using an old Cisco/Linksys 802.11g wireless router for this demo and all the settings are defaulted except the security settings, which I set to WPA Personal with a Shared Key passphrase of “password”. I have the fixes I discovered in another blog post for anyone else that may have these same problems. Originally I was using Fern in Kali and ran into some issues with my wireless adapter and with the program freezing or not opening after updating it. Very simple to use… scary easy! Fern also provides some extra functionality for hijacking sessions and locating a computers geolocation via its Mac address, but I have not tested with these features.įor this demo I will be using Backtrack 5 r3 running in VMware Workstation on a Win 7 host.
Fern basically takes the command line utilities to crack these networks and puts them in a GUI.
#BEST WPA2 WORDLIST 2018 CRACKER#
This demo is for wireless pentesting educational purposes and to emphasize the insecurities of using a weak or common dictionary word for wireless network authentication and encryption security key or passphrase.įern Wi-fi Cracker can crack WEP, WPA, and WPA2 secured wireless networks. Before attempting to use Fern or any other utility in Kali or Backtrack please make sure to read the help and MAN pages for a complete description of the program options and switches. I will be using the Fern WiFi Cracker open source wireless security tool included in the Kali Linux and Backtrack 5 r3 security distros. Note: For this demo I’m using a lab environment network that is not routed to the internet.
