CRACK WI-FI NETWORKS

[vincenzo di salvo]

Hello everyone, I'm writing to pose a question concerning the pentesting with backbox. I would be interested to have possible explanations of how to crack a wifi network. Articles around this topic are many, as well as programs that promise the impossible (aircrack, wifite, reaver cowpatty, etc., etc ....). I tried all the software above mentioned without ever once being able to recover a router password.
Another tedious problem, the blocking message that appears often and which reads "WARNING: Detected AP rate limiting, waiting 60 seconds before re-checking". Clearly if it is not possible crack the password of a router, it has no sense use all programs involving the hacking, as Metasploit, armitage, and so on. I tried to do several researches but nothing solid I found about the crack of a wi-fi network. Am I wrong approach? maybe are there smarter ways to address the pentesting (I do simulations in a personal Intranet created ad hoc). Waiting for your kind clarification, I greet you cordially.


Ciao a tutti, sto scrivendo di porre una domanda relativa alla pentesting con incasso. Sarei interessato ad avere possibili spiegazioni di come rompere una rete WiFi. Gli articoli intorno a questo argomento sono molti, così come i programmi che promettono l'impossibile (aircrack, wifite, cowpatty Reaver, ecc, ecc ....). Ho provato tutto il software di cui sopra, senza mai una volta di essere in grado di recuperare una password del router.
Un altro problema noioso, il messaggio di blocco che appare spesso e in cui si legge "ATTENZIONE: Rilevato tasso AP limitante, in attesa di 60 secondi prima di ri-controllo". Chiaramente se non è possibile rompere la password di un router, è utilizzare alcun senso tutti i programmi che coinvolgono l'hacking, come Metasploit, Armitage, e così via. Ho provato a fare diverse ricerche, ma niente di solido ho trovato circa la crepa di una rete Wi-Fi. Sono approccio sbagliato? forse ci sono modi più intelligenti per affrontare la pentesting (faccio simulazioni in una Intranet personali creati ad hoc). In attesa di vostra cortese chiarimento, vi saluto cordialmente.

E' la prima volta che faccio uso del forum e mi scuso in anticipo se ho sbagliato la sezione di pubblicazione.

Ciao Vincenzo,
don't get me wrong but what I see in you is the lack of security background. All of the tools and I remark, all of the tools, in the auditing section of BackBox are proof of concept for penetration testing. Means, if you master them and if you really have a good background in both linux and security, then there nothing to stop you in reaching your target(s). Either you want to exploit and penetrate into a server or crack the simple wi-fi password.

I said simple to crack a wi-fi password because it really is simple these days. Personally I feel lazy and have no desire to even try such thing as I already did this in the past (when I was younger ;D) and most importantly I find no use to re doing what I know is already possible. I don't need to secure my wifi because I dont mind people connecting to my wifi ;) It is 250Mbps at the end and to be honest I don't know what to do with all of this bandwidth. This is just to let you know that the cracking wifi password is an obsolete stuff. But, of course, there are companies those who have to secure their wifi connections and a penetration testing for that is a basic need. Al I can tell you is that you can find plenty stuff on youtube where you will be able to see (with your own eyes) that it is possible what you are looking for and what you thing is not possible.

Tools like armitage/metasploit and so on, they are all very very powerful tools and very dangerous if you really know how to use them. So don't mark them as useless just because you haven't experienced that power yourself. I myself, when I wrote a first book about penetration testing with backbox, I used around 20% of those tools that backbox have and as target environment I used live production servers (so no lab or fake PCs etc). The book shows every single step/stage of each technique used to penetrate into production systems (live servers) and all with successful result.

To be hacker minded you need to have 3 things: curiosity, passion and patient. Without those you easily give up and never reach your target. I think this is where you are from my readings of your post.

In this forum we are not teaching how to penetrate into systems or crack wifi passwords but we do share our knowledge about how to use the tools offered by backbox.

If you'd like to get to know more about the tools and master them, you are welcome to join us and we welcome your questions if you may have any but pls, do not come with the questions like how do I crack the wifi password :) it is not really in the hackers spirit such manner.

Try to focus on the 3 basic elements I mentioned and let's see how far you can get ;)

Good luck!
