How to crack someone's WIFI with wifite - Sartux - 05-30-2019
So there are many ways you can do this and some better ways, but this is a simple way to do it using a dictionary attack and requires very little skill as wifite is easy to set up
Mostly use this if you think you know some of their passwords or can make a good guess, there are some good wordlist creators out there to make it easier. There are also lists of default modem passwords you can get.
1) Download and install wifite - type 'sudo apt install wifite' in terminal.
3) Type 'wifite -mac -aircrack -dict your-word-list-here' in terminal.
-mac anomymises your mac address so you cant be tracked
-aircrack uses aircrack for the attack (its the best one to use)
-dict tells wifite to use a dictionary attack
-put the location of your wordlist after -dict. Make your own as a txt file with one password per line.
4) You then need to select your network interface using the number key assigned to the network interface you want to use - it might be 0 or 1 or another one if you have a usb wifi adapter plugged in.
5) Now wait and it will give you a list of all wifi networks your computer can see. Once you find the one you want press ctrl+c
6) Select the wifi network you want to attack with the number key.
7) Wait! It can take a while, but if you have a good word list it won't take too long.
8) If you are successful it will give you the wifi password!!

Pretty good tutorial. Do you know if this is downloadable in Python? I don't have a Kali system at the moment, so I'm hoping I can run it on Windows. There's another method I know of for Android that I might type up tomorrow.

I remember using Reaver many years ago, to crack the AP's WPS PIN, which was quite effective back then. Nowadays, Fluxion does the job quite well.
Appreciate your guide.

Wifite only works on linux, but aircrack does work on windows so you could do the same thing it just requires a bit more typing. Wifite is basically an interface over aircrack
to make it easier to use.
I'd suggest making a quick live bootable linux USB for this kind of thing - there's some good tutorials on creating a kali bootable and usb sticks are really cheap these days.
