Now that we've successfully walked through setting up our router as a WEP access point and cracked it on the Aircrack/WEP Cracking page, let's try attacking a WPA encrypted network.
The Background
As with the WEP attack we covered, this attack will use aircrack-ng to capture lots and lots of packets, then use those packets to brute-force guess the wireless network's passphrase.
The Hardware
The hardware will consist of:
- a router/wireless access point - this router controls the wireless network being attacked
- a laptop running Kali Linux - this is where the attack is being launched from
- a third party on the network - not sure if this is necessary
The Software
You'll need a laptop running Kali, which will have aircrack-ng installed. That should be all the software you need.
The Procedure
Set Router to WPA
Before doing anything else, we'll change the wireless security protocol of the router to WPA2 encryption.
