Ya i noticed it, but i don't know why i'm not getting handshake? i can't even crack my own network....SAD!

Here is all the step i'm using:

airmon-ng
airmon-ng start wlan0
airmon-ng
ifconfig mon0 down
macchanger -m 00:11:22:33:44:55 mon0
ifconfig mon0 up
airodump-ng mon0
airodump-ng -c 11 -w redevilinux --bssid 00:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX --ivs mon0
aireplay-ng -0 1 -e M11X R2 mon0
aircrack-ng -w /root/Desktop/darkc0de.lst redevilinux-02.ivs

If i'm doing something wrong please let me know thx!

You have two differnt file types from the two posts you have made, the 14th of june has a .cap file and the latest has a .ivs file.

using --ivs will only write initialisation vectors and connot be used for WPA handshake cracking! You will not capture a handshake with this option.

so run airodump-ng, in monitor mode, on the correct channel, with a .cap save file, when a WPA client connects to the network.

simply connect a wireless client to your access point while the above is running and you will get a handshake to use with aircrack.

if you need to you can DeAuth a connected client with Aireplay-ng to get it to re-connect and capture the handshake then.

you must use the .cap file which captures the handshake and the passphrase must be in the dictionary you use or it wont work.

is there a way for cracking password without a dictionary file?

[drakedeon]

Yes if it's WEP, No if it's WPA!

You can use previously hashed passwords that speed-up the checking process but that will still require the passphrase to be in your list to check against the handshake.

This is where social enginerring comes in, people can't remember passphrases and so use what is easily rememberd for them like thier dogs name or birth date etc. If you have a dictionary of thousands of words inc many commonly used passphrases then anyone who doesn't use a well made passphrase will be vunerable so this is a lesson where you can use a strong passphrase on your own system and then add it to your dictionary to test the function of passphrase cracking.

hi,may i know where to find dictionary files?

[thenicewilly]

Hello,

I have another problem with a dictionary ... I have Backtrack5rf installed on a live usb drive of 16 GB but when I choose the dictionnary with the wpa keys, it says that he does not find the file?

But the file (32Gb) is located on my hard disk (Asus) ? So what to do ? Is it possible to use the dictionary ?

Also when I want to copy the dictionary file, is is not possible becausqe not enough space. Not becausqe it is a 32GB file but because I have only more or less 3 or 4 GB space even if I have a 16 GB Key and nothing else installed on the Usb key ? Why ?

It seems that I can not use the remaining free space left on my 16 GB usb key ? Why ?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Hello,

Here is for example a link : http://www.renderlab.net/projects/WPA-tables/

But after a Google search, you can find plenty of them ...
The problem is not how to find them but how to get them work in Backtrack5r ?
