So i am trying to learn how to use backtrack and how to hack etc. Not maliciously of course......
I just wanted to ask is anyone could give me a noobs step by step tutorial for how to hack WPA and WPA 2 security codes. I am open to most things but i would rather use what is already in BackTrack such as dictionary attacks.
I am running it all on a VM Ware Virtual Machine if this makes any difference.
So far i have been using this video but i get stuck
The problem is that in a virtual machine it wont see the interface, so you have two options to overcome this.
Option One,
Get a wireless USB adaptor that you can put in monitor mode
Option Two
Provided that your hardware supports been put into monitor mode, you can create a live usb and boot from that allowing you to use the relevant programs.
I wrote a program that flawlessly guided you through running the commands to get reaver to attack susceptible wifi signals. I haven't found it in quite some time, but I would love to either search for it or recode it and get it back to you.
Go with Kali Linux; Backtrack whereas it is a great OS it is outdated and Kali has taken over it's spot.
Another Note since you are trying to learn Pen Testing; it can't do WPA/WPA2 Brute, but if you have a rooted android phone I would suggest DSploit so you can do mobile MITM attacks and connect to computers and use a file service to send files over IP; for that I recommend on android X-Plore because it has WiFi Share, SSH, and FTP. These are great learning tools because they have easy interfaces. If you want to understand the basis of how it's all working I suggest trying that route.
