Today we’re going to walk through a few WiFi testing examples using Aircrack-ng, which is a suite of wireless network security tools. It allows us to monitor and export packet data, attack access points and clients, and crack WEP and WPA keys. I’ve included some links at the bottom if anyone wants to do more research on wireless, RC4, or Aircrack-ng.

In a nutshell, we are going to set up a couple test scenarios and then walk through some different attack methods. We’ll scan for our wireless access point (AP), setup a traffic capture, generate network traffic, and then step through different methods of gaining the wireless key. During these examples, keep in mind the complexity of the passphrase being used and the different ways those keys can be discovered. Also, as a reminder, only test against devices or networks that you own or have express written permission to test.

Happy learning!
