HACKING WiFi PASSWORDS

We would be completely remiss if we discuss hacking and not even think about getting past that stubborn WiFi password your neighbor keeps (we could also be joking). But in case you would ever need to get past a WPA2 password in your white hat activities, then we’ll tell you the basics.
There is a flaw in the WPS (WiFi Protected Setup) system that allows WPA and WPA2 passwords to be broken in different situations. Ironic, right? The thing is, WPS setup is enabled by default in many access points even after the access point is reset.
What you will need For this activity, you would need a wireless card that supports promiscuous mode. This is easy to come by on online stores. You would also need a target, an access point with both WPS and WPA2 security enabled. For the tutorial, we will be using the same Kali Linux system mentioned in the previous chapter.
