Hack Wi-Fi with Crunch
Try crunch once
It is not like same as the password cracking tool this is used by some professional hackers.It is a word list generator where it can calculate the combination of letters,symbols and then verify all the password hashes against crunch combination.It's a type of brute force attack so this is the last place where your WPS hacking is not possible.The first thing you need to know is you have to capture all wpa or wpa2 packets handshake.
Now open-up your command prompt and type this command and make sure that not to type any mistakes.
crunch 8 12 abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789 | aircrack-ng –bssid 00:11:22:33:44:55 -w- hack-wifi-01.cap
Actually what happens here is the crunch automatically generates the list of passwords with 8 and 12 characters and with a combination of uppercase and lowercase characters.What this command does is
1.The starting 8-12 tells the crunch to auto-generate the brute force list with the 8 or 12 characters. As WPA require only 8 or less than 8 so further checking is a waste of time.
2. Next here we can see the alphabets in an lower case and uppercase and then followed by characters.crunch will use this information to generate passwords of at least 8 characters.
3.| aircrack-ng –bssid 00:11:22:33:44:55 -w- hack-wifi-01.cap – We will need to point Crunch to aircrack, and specify our target network’s BSSID and the handshake we captured. Here BSSID means your ip address.So as you had captured file name the file as you wish with the extension .cap.Usually your target's BSSID and the name of your captured file may be quite different.
