Hack a secure wlan network

Yes, I am not joking. IMO, if you can learn a way to hack a WiFi network then you can access free internet everywhere. So, I am telling you the method to hack a secured WiFi network, crack its password and enjoy free internet using it. Before moving directly to the methods to hack WiFi networks lets first see what type of security and authentication methods are implemented in WiFi networks. If somebody is already connected to the network, you can check in his network properties to see what encryption-type is being using by the targeted WiFi network.

But if you want to know encryption-type of WiFi network which is not connected to any device in your reach, you need Ubuntu operating system to do this. In Ubuntu, you can use nmcli command in terminal which is command-line client for NetworkManager. It will show you security types of nearby Wi-Fi access points.

Enter the following command in terminal:. Using the above methods, you should have known the encryption-type of targeted WiFi network which you want to hack. My methods require KALI Linux which is especially designed Linux distrbution for penetration testing and ethical hacking. You can download it for free from its official site.

You will also need Aircrack-ng which is a security suite to assess WiFi network security. It focuses on different area of WiFi security: monitoring, attacking, testing and cracking. Another important requirement is to check if your wireless card is compatible with Aircrack-ng or not.

You can either scroll down to read each and every WiFi hacking method or can directly jump to the required section below using these links:. Now follow these below steps:. Vistumbler supports AP names to help distinguish them, which also helps to detect rogue access points.

The attacker would have to be physically close to the target and the potential weaknesses would not compromise connections to secure websites, such as banking services or online shopping. Internet security is a key NCSC priority and we continuously update our advice on issues such as wifi safety, device management and browser security.

The development is significant because the compromised security protocol is the most secure in general use to encrypt wifi connections. Older security standards have been broken in the past, but on those occasions a successor was available and in widespread use. Crucially, the attack is unlikely to affect the security of information sent over the network that is protected in addition to the standard WPA2 encryption.

This means connections to secure websites are still safe, as are other encrypted connections such as virtual private networks VPN and SSH communications. However, insecure connections to websites — those which do not display a padlock icon in the address bar, indicating their support for HTTPS — should be considered public, and viewable to any other user on the network, until the vulnerability is fixed. Equally, home internet connections will remain difficult to fully secure for quite some time.
