Now, we do have some prerequisites for conducting Wi-Fi security tests, like having some hardware,
but don't worry, these aren't expensive tools.
It'll be enough to have a PC and Wi-Fi USB adapter to complete this training.
Now, the most important thing to watch out for when buying a USB WiFi adapter is that it has monitor
mode and allows you to inject packets.
Now, based on our experience, we can say that the chip set of most of the Wi-Fi USB adapter sold on
the market do not have these features.
You can use one of the Wi-Fi adapters listed in the table during the tests.
So, in fact, we use the TP link T.L. when 72 n high gain wireless USB adapter as our hardware throughout
the course.
The TP link High Gain Wireless USB adapter allows you to connect a computer to a wireless network and
access a high speed Internet connection.
It provides wireless speeds of up to 150 megabits per second.
It is compliant with I trippingly zero to not one one n.
And gives you a more robust wireless signal than existing wireless Aido 2.0 11 G technology can provide.
It has the ability to reduce data loss over long distances and through obstacles in a small office or
large apartment.
And it automatically avoids channel conflicts using its Clear Channel assessment technology, and this
is greatly enhancing our wireless performance.
It also supports WPA, WPA, too, as well as weap encryptions to protect the wireless network efficiently.
So to get better signal performance, the adapters for DBI, high gain external antenna can be rotated
and adjusted in different directions to fit various environments.
The adapter has a quick security setup that allows you to almost instantly set up your security.
Just by pressing the exact button, it'll establish a WPA to secure connection.
So I'll use the TP link Wi-Fi adapter in this course, but of course there are other hardware and wireless
auditing platforms for Wi-Fi and testing that you can use for the chorus like pineapple and fruity wi
fi.
The wi fi pineapple is a piece of hardware that was originally created for network penetration testing.
WI fi pineapple allows protesters to perform targeted man in the middle attacks, advance discovery,
credential gathering, open source intelligence gathering and more with a web interface.
A fruity Wi-Fi is an open source tool to audit wireless networks and allows a user to deploy advanced
attacks by directly using the Web interface or by sending messages to it.
Initially, the application was created to be used with Raspberry Pi, but it can also be installed
on any Debian based system.
Now, I am true to my word when I say that I'll be using lots of tools for attacking wi fi networks.
You might be familiar with some of these, as they are the most often used, some of them are the more
advanced tools for wi fi been testing.
So what we like to do is use a bunch of different tools, in fact, using as many different tools as
possible for different attack scenarios, thereby introducing you to how to use each one of them, including
the ones that you know and hopefully introduce you to a whole bunch more that you haven't even heard
of before.
We'll explain all this in detail shortly.
But I just want to let you know that we will be installing the tools before using them in the upcoming
lectures, so we're not going to install all of them when we set up our laboratory.
So here we're going to use air crack energy.
And Aircraft G consists of a detector, a package sniffer weapon and a WPA to crack and analysis.
It includes Airman Engy Airplay and Aero Dumpings, Air Base, Engie and Packet for Jangi sounds like
fun, huh?
Yes, we're going to be using all these tools.
WI fi TV.
And wi fi TV runs existing wireless auditing tools, wi fi TV is designed to use all known methods such
as pin attack, WPA handshake, capture, as well as Web attacks.
Better cap.
Now, Better Cap is a powerful, flexible and portable tool created to perform various types of men
in the middle attacks against the network, manipulate http https and TCP traffic in real time, sniff
for credentials and so much more.
Flexion.
So function is security, auditing and social engineering research tool, it attempts to retrieve the
WPA WPA to keep from a target access point by means of a social engineering attack.
You might know that is phishing.
Hash cat, so hash cat is a type of hacking tool and it's a password cracker specifically, it was created
to be able to hack the most complex passwords, targeting multiple aspects of coding simultaneously.
But what we're going to be using hash code for is for cracking WPA two by using GPU in this course.
Here's a favorite wi fi pumpkin.
And the fi pumpkin is a rogue access point framework.
It'll easily create fake networks, all while forwarding legitimate traffic to and from the unsuspecting
target.
We're going to use something called kismet.
Kismet is wireless network and device detector, it's a sniffer and it's a war driving tool.
And cow patty, so cow patty is a C.
Based tool for running a brute force dictionary attack against WPX.
Now hopefully you're as excited as I am because this is some very rich content.
Yeah.
So why don't we just get started?
We'll set up the laboratory next.
