    Question bruteforce wifi password device

    Hi, I train in ethical hacking both system and network level.


    I'm trying to brute force my wifi password from my sfr box.


    I managed to pull out a .cap wireshark file where I captured the handshake connection of a wifi device.


    I attempted to use kali linux and find the password via a rockyou.txt password list, in 9h it didn't find the password.

    Indeed, it is a long password with alpha numeric character + "!".


    I think it will be impossible to find it.
    I converted the .cap file to then I ran on windows ashcat -a 3 -m 2500 ?2?2?2?2?2?2?2? hashcat-wpa2.hccapx






    But it tells me that the 2500 plugin no longer exists so I replace it with 22000:


    and it always gives me "No hashes loaded."


    Same if I do "hashcat-6.2.5>hashcat -m 22000 -a 3 wpa2.hccapx d?d?d?d?d?d?d?d?"

    I am attaching a screenshot and the .cap file https://ufile.io/72klwxnn and converted to .hccapx to at least see if I captured it well and if it was not this step that screwed up








    Thanks very much

    Hi, first of all stop using aircrack-ng, use hcxdumptool instead

    sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade -y
    sudo apt install hcxdumptool
    sudo apt install hcxtools
    sudo reboot -f


    Use this method to put wifi device in monitor mode, do not use aircrack-ng to put wifi device in monito mode, hcxdumptool will not work if you do

    sudo systemctl stop NetworkManager.service
    sudo systemctl stop wpa_supplicant.service
    sudo ip link set wlan0 down
    sudo iw dev wlan0 set type monitor
    sudo iw dev wlan0 set txpower fixed 3000 [if you own a Alfa AC1900, this increases the pwr but a sensitive antennae is also important]
    sudo ip link set wlan0 up
    sudo iw dev OR sudo iw wlan0 info [chk if device is in monitor mode]


    This should get you going in the right direction

    sudo hcxdumptool -i wlan0 -o [name].pcapng --active_beacon --enable_status=15 [this number can be 1, 15 or 31 refer to --help]
    sudo hcxdumptool -i wlan0 -o [name].pcapng --disable_deauthentication --disable_ap_attacks --active_beacon -t 3600 --enable_status=15 [24 hr attack]


    Convert .pcapng to .hc22000, hcxpcapngtool is part of hcxtools

    sudo hcxpcapngtool -o [name].hc22000 [name].pcang [*.pcapng* converts all pcang files into a single hc22000 file, its not recommended as data can be messed up in conversion]


    Hashcat, these are just basic but will get you going

    sudo hashcat -m 22000 [name].hc22000 -a 0 [wordlist]
    sudo hashcat -m 22000 [name].hc22000 -a 3 [brute force]

    To find the hashcat potfile

    sudo find / | grep "hashcat.potfile"
    sudo su [login as root]
    cd /root/.local/share/hashcat/
    sudo nano hashcat.potfile


    Did you install Cuda for hashcat so it can make use of your GPU, do you have a hashcat compatible GPU?

    sudo apt update
    sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade -y
    sudo apt install nvidia-driver nvidia-cuda-toolkit -y
    sudo reboot -f
    sudo nvidia-smi [chk communication / driver / temp etc]

    Airgeddon

    The reason for not using aircrack-ng is that when converting to hashcat format additional information is stripped out, important information that hashcat can use

    I would put Kali on a separate drive, I think 35 GB is the smallest partition for kali and run hashcat natively



    Hope this helps you
