Previously, Kali Linux was introduced to you. It contains a large amount of Penetration Testing Tools. Today you will learn about one other tool of this collection. WiFite is a Penetration Testing Tool under the GNU General Public License version 2 and in this article, we will present How To Install And Run Wifite On Kali Linux. You can customize WiFite to be automated with only a few arguments and attack multiple Wired Equivalent Privacy, Wi-Fi Protected Access, and Wi-Fi Protected Setup encrypted networks in a row. It has been designed to use all these recent methods for retrieving the password of a wireless access router. Once you start running WiFite, you can select your targets, and then it will start capturing or cracking the password. You do not need to memorize command arguments and switches anymore, WiFite will run the existing wireless-auditing tools for you. You can find your preferred Linux VPS packages and continue learning how to use this tool on your own server.
- In the new version of Kali (2.0) wich you are most likely using, Wifite has a bug because of wich capturing the handshake fails. In the newest version of wifite this is fixed, but in Kali, the update-function of Wifite (wifite -update i think) won't find the newest version.
- Pyrit allows you to create databases of pre-computed WPA/WPA2-PSK PMKs. By using Multi-Core CPUs and ATI-Stream,Nvidia CUDA, and OpenCL, it is a powerful attack against one of the world's most used security-protocols.
Hcxtools Description. Small set of tools convert packets from captures (h = hash, c = capture, convert and calculate candidates, x = different hashtypes) for the use with latest hashcat or John the Ripper.The tools are 100% compatible to hashcat. CudaHashcat or oclHashcat or Hashcat on Kali Linux got built-in capabilities to attack and decrypt or crack WPA WPA2 handshake.cap files. Only constraint is, you need to convert a.cap file to a.hccap file format. This is rather easy. Important Note: Many users try to capture with network cards that are not supported.
Tutorial Install WiFite On Kali Linux
WiFite Features
1- WiFite is able to crack the closest access points due to their signal strength first while it sorts targets in dB.
2- De-authenticates clients of hidden networks automatically to reveal SSIDs.
3- It has so many filters to specify what to attack exactly.
4- Timeouts, packets/sec, and other settings are customizable.
5- WiFite can change MAC to a random address before the attack as an anonymous feature. When attacks are complete, change back.
6- It provides the backup of all captured WPA to wifite.py’s current directory.
7- It cycles between all clients and broadcast deauths as a smart WPA de-authentication.
8- You can easily stop the attacks with Ctrl+C and move onto the next target with options to continue or even skip to cracking and exit.
9- You can view the summary of the session at the exit and see the cracked keys.
10- You will find all saved passwords to cracked.txt
11- The built-in updater is available on ./wifite.py-upgrade
Required Tools
1- A wireless card with the ”Monitoring Mode” ability and packet injection.
2- The latest versions of some programs are supported which should be installed to let WiFite work well such as python, iwconfig, ifconfig, Aircrack-ng, airmon-ng, aircrack-ng, aireplay-ng, airodump-ng, packetforge-ng.
3- The suite of programs it uses, forces WiFite to be run as root. While it is not a good idea to run downloaded scripts as root, you can use the Kali Linux bootable Live SC, a bootable USB stick, or a virtual machine. In case you use a virtual machine you need to prepare a wireless USB dongle since they cannot access hardware directly.
