Wanna hack Wi-fi Passwords using your Ubuntu Linux?


Hacking Wi-Fi Password Using Ubuntu Linux – I know a lot of you out there would love to know how to hack or crack Wi-Fi passwords from coffee shops or just about any place with managed or secured network.
I’ve already featured several hacking software before, and some of which can help you crack Wi-Fi passwords be it WEP or WPA protected. This time, I’m going to share with you some of my favorite wireless tools that can be used to hack Wi-Fi password using Ubuntu or any other Linux distribution:
Aircrack-ng (a fork of aircrack) is my main tool for cracking Wi-Fi passwords. It has awireless network detector, a packet sniffer, WEP and WPA/WPA2-PSK cracker, and an analysis tool for 802.11 wireless LANs. Aircrack-ng works with any wireless card whose driver supports raw monitoring mode and can sniff 802.11a, 802.11b and 802.11g traffic.
Kismet is a really good network detector, packet sniffer, and intrusion detection system for 802.11 wireless LANs. It will work with any wireless card which supports raw monitoring mode, and can sniff 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n traffic. Kismet works in passive mode, which means it is capable of detecting the presence of both wireless access points and wireless clients without sending any loggable packets.
SWScanner is specifically designed to make the whole wardriving process a lot easier. It is also intended to manage many tasks related to wireless networking. SWScanner is compatible with NetStumbler files and can be integrated with GPS devices.
These are only three of the many wireless tools that can get you going in no time, so feel free to explore.
I don’t want to give a step-by-step instruction just yet on how to hack or crack WiFi password using Ubuntu, but for a little inspiration, I’ll share with you a YouTube video that pretty much illustrate the process of using those Wi-Fi hacking software:
