Crack WPA/WPA2 Wi-Fi Routers with Aircrack-Ng and Hashcat
I&#x27;m not sure why this is amazing enough to make the first page but W&#x2F;E it&#x27;s HN :). Just so less informed are aware, this has been feasible for maybe 7 years (since GPU calculation became possible).<p>Just so nobody freaks out, this is cracking weak passwords, not broken WPA.<p>I have myself cracked countless WiFi passwords when security testing. It&#x27;s easy if the passwords are bad, which is maybe 90% of the time for home networks and 60% for businesses. The attack is completely passive if you don&#x27;t want to be noticed, and with a cheap dish you can pickup both ends of the handshakes from up to around a quarter mile away (line of sight).
