Introduction
Wireless attacks are a type of security assessment that focuses on identifying vulnerabilities in wireless networks and devices. Kali Linux provides a wide range of tools for wireless attacks. In this guide, we will discuss some of the most commonly used wireless attack tools in Kali Linux.
Tools
- Aircrack-ng
- Aircrack-ng is a powerful tool for wireless network auditing and penetration testing.
- To use Aircrack-ng, open the terminal and type “aircrack-ng [capture file]”.
- Aircrack-ng will analyze the captured packets and attempt to crack the WPA/WPA2 encryption.
- Reaver
- Reaver is a tool for brute-forcing WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) PINs.
- To use Reaver, open the terminal and type “reaver -i [interface] -b [BSSID] -c [channel] -vv”.
- Reaver will attempt to brute-force the WPS PIN and gain access to the wireless network.
- Wireshark
- Wireshark is a tool for network protocol analysis and troubleshooting.
- To use Wireshark for wireless attacks, open the application and select the wireless interface.
- Wireshark will capture the wireless traffic, allowing you to analyze and identify vulnerabilities in the network.
Conclusion
In this guide, we’ve discussed some of the most commonly used wireless attack tools in Kali Linux. These tools can be used to identify vulnerabilities in wireless networks and devices, and can be used for various purposes, including wireless network auditing, penetration testing, and protocol analysis.
