Thread: Tutorial - Cracking WPA/WPA2

Tweet

Hi Friends,

Attached is a tutorial for beginners who are looking for different ways to obtain password for an Access Point configured with WPA/WPA2 encryption PSK. The emphasize is on the usage of cuda and graphics card to crack the password faster. The document was prepared as part of a training program.

It covers:
Cracking the pre-shared key in five different ways:
1. Use aircrack-ng (without CUDA support) to crack the pre-shared key (slow)
2. Use Pyrit and Cowpatty to crack key on the fly (passthrough mode using CUDA) (faster than way 1)
3. Use Pyrit alone to crack key on the fly (attack_passthrough mode) (faster than way 2 and is most recommended)
4. Pyrit CUDA Batch Mode – Create rainbow tables with pyrit
5. Brute force with Crunch and Pyrit (not recommended)

Cheers!
