Password Cracking is the process of recovering passwords from data that have been stored in or transmitted through networks. One of the best wireless password hacking tools is Aircrack-ng for WEP/WAP/WPA2 cracking. The Aircrack-ng suite contains tools such as Aireplay-ng (to generate traffic and client de-authentication), Airodump-ng (packet capturing), and Airbase-ng (to configure fake access points). This combination of tools requires more interaction and time to get the capture file. In this paper, we use the Wifite tool to create the wpa.cap file. Wifite is a penetration tool that detects and lists out all the nearby Wi-Fi devices in a range. Wifite selects the target capture file, enables the de-authentication attack and does the handshake process. Cracking the password by matching wordlists and the capture file.
