Hack Wifi using Evil Twin Method with Linset in kali Linux

Linset is a tool for Evil twin attack

How it works

  • Scan the networks.
  • Select network.
  • Capture handshake (can be used without handshake)
  • We choose one of several web interfaces tailored for me (thanks to the collaboration of the users)
  • Mounts one FakeAP imitating the original
  • A DHCP server is created on FakeAP
  • It creates a DNS server to redirect all requests to the Host
  • The web server with the selected interface is launched
  • The mechanism is launched to check the validity of the passwords that will be introduced
  • It deauthentificate all users of the network, hoping to connect to FakeAP and enter the password.
  • The attack will stop after the correct password checking

 First of all download Linset from github with command:

git clone https://github.com/vk496/linset.git

and then change the permissions of the linset script with command:

chmod +x linset

and then execute it with command:

./linset

After execution it will ask to choose the interface so select wlan0 for wireless extension which will put it into monitor mode.

Then it will ask to select the channel so enter 1 to select all the channels.

Now the monitor mode will listen to all the available wifi connections , so wait till your target appears and then press ctrl^c.

Now it will list  all the AP’s with their SSID ,id no. and signal strength , so enter the id of your target and hit Enter as in my case i have selected rajlab by entering 1.

Now select Hostapd by entering 1 which will help in creating Fake AP.

Now hit Enter for using default path to save the capture file or you can give the custom path to save the capture  file which will ask to select the method for cracking the handshake so select 1 for aircrack-ng.

Now select 1 to de-authenticate all the clients connected to the target AP to capture the handshake.

Now when the handshake is captured you will see it on right top corner of the new window and then enter 1 on the menu window as we have captured the handshake. 

Now select 1 for web interface which will be presented to the victim when he will connect to our fake AP.

Now it will ask for language selection of the web interface so enter 1 for English.

Now 4 terminal windows will be opened of which one will create the Fake AP , one will be regularly de-authenticating all the clients and one will  show all the info of the AP.

Now as you can see there are 2 rajlab AP are present of which one is fake and open and the other is the original but the clients will not be able to connect to the original one due to our deauth attack so they will be forced to connect to our fake AP.

After connecting to the Fake AP it will redirect the victim browser to below given web-page which will require the victim to enter the  original AP password as the attack will only stop when the victim will enter correct password.

After submitting the correct password , the attack will be stopped and a message will be generated that your connection will be restored .

As you can see in my case victim entered the correct password and we found the correct key as:

KEY FOUND! [ raj123987 ]

Hack Password using Rogue Wi-Fi Access Point Attack (WiFi-Pumpkin)

WiFi-Pumpkin framework for Rogue Wi-Fi Access Point Attack It helps a hacker to create a free open fake wifi and as soon as victim connects to the fake open wifi, he gets trapped. However, the best feature is that if your internet connection is working, victim will get access to internet. Hence, more chances of him to get trapped(Nice, isn’t it?).

First, to install Wifi-Pumpkin we type on terminal:

git clone https://github.com/P0cL4bs/WiFi-Pumpkin.git

Once the cloning is done, we need to install. Hence, go to the installed directory of WiFi-Pumpkin and open it in terminal and type the following command to install it:

./installer.sh –install

Now, open the installed directory of wifi-pumpkin in terminal and type:

Python wifi-pumpkin.py

It will load wifi pumpkin in GUI as you can see in the screenshot below.

Now, all you have to do is configure your settings and click on ‘Start Access Point’.

Wait for some devices to connect. They will be displayed as you can see below. A good thing is that devices are automatically assigned a class A IP address.

In the victim’s phone PumpAP is created and he/she is accessing the internet without even knowing that they have fallen into the sweet trap of free internet!

While the victim is acessing Wi-Fi like usual, we can see his/her activity. As you can see in the below screenshot that we are able to capture victim’s phone’s “Hike Contacts.”

As soon as victim opens anyone’s profile on hike, their number is being captured by us!

Many other notable features include cookie capturing. As n the below screenshot, we can see victim’s device’s cookies being visible. Which is great to know as it may have something interesting?

We are also able to capture any credentials/ login id and password on any http website.

As you can see below that victim has logged in into way2sms.com and their ID and password are being recorded.

For even better case scenarios, when many of victims will be connected to your fake Wireless Network thinking they are in luck, we will be recording everything in clear text. If we are unable to see everything on terminal, don’t worry, WiFi-Pumpkin has stored everything category wise.

Now, we go to the directory:

/WiFi-Pumpkin/logs/AccessPoint

In that directory many log files are present that have captured numerous items. One such text file is “credentials.log”

Here, we will see all the login details

Another notable file is the “urls.log”

We can see all the accessed urls on victim’s device, along with their IP address.

So, this is how you allure victims into free internet and steal data without even letting them know!

Wifi Penetration Testing using Gerix Wifi Cracker

GERIX WIFI CRACKER is a GUI wireless 802.11 penetration tools which uses the aircrack-ng method behind its point and click method to crack the wifi password.

First of all clone the github repo with command:

git clone https://github.com/J4r3tt/gerix-wifi-cracker-2.git

Now inside the installed directory give the gerix.py file permission to execute with command:

chmod +x gerix.py

and then start the gerix wifi cracker with command:

python gerix.py

Now a GUI window will appear, click on Reload the Wireless Interfaces and when the wireless interface appears click on it i.e. wlan0 in my case and then click on Enable/Disable Monitor Mode to enable the monitor mode from managed mode.

After enabling the monitor mode the wireless interface name will be changed to wlan0mon and the mode will be monitor .Now for scanning the wireless networks select the monitor mode interface (wlan0mon in my case) and then click on Rescan networks.

After scanning networks select you target by clicking on it as in my case i have selected tp link and then go to WPA tab (As the target AP is using WPA2 security).

After clicking on WPA tab, go to general functionalities and start sniffing and logging by clicking on it and a terminal window will appear capturing the packets of the target AP.

Now without closing the terminal windows got to WPA attack section and click on Autoload victim clients who will load victim client MAC address to deauthenticate and now click on Client Deauthentication to disconnect the victim so that we can capture the handshake.

Now as you can see WPA handshake is successfully captured and same can be seen in the top right corner of the terminal window. Now close the terminal window.

Now we have to crack the password from the captured file so got to Cracking tab and then to WPA bruteforce cracking section and give the dictionary path in the Add your dictionary field and then click on Aircrack-ng  -Crack WPA password .(you can also choose any other method for cracking like pyrite and rainbow tables)

As you can see it has successfully cracked the password.
