Cowpatty

Cowpatty is yet another WPA cracking program.

Cowpatty requires a word file, a cap file, and the name (ESSID) of an access point.

Installing

Dependencies

Cowpatty requires the SSL library headers:

sudo apt-get install libssl-dev

Installing cowpatty with kali tools

Cowpatty can be installed using Kali Tools.

cd kali-tools
python3 kali.py cowpatty
cd dist/cowpatty
dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -b
cd ../
sudo dpkg -i cowpatty_4.3-1kali3_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get upgrade cowpatty

Problem: the dpkg-buildpackage requires libssl-dev to be installed.

Okay, I run apt-get install libssl-dev and it is happy.

But then I run dpkg -i and it fails with libssl1.0.0 not installed.

There is not libssl1.0.0 available, only libssl1.0.2, and if I install it and the header files, apt-get install libssl1.0.2 libssl1.0-dev, then it uninstalls libssl-dev.

Baffling.
