Where -m = 2500 means we are attacking a WPA2 WPA handshake file. To crack WPA WPA2 handshake file using cudaHashcat or oclHashcat or Hashcat, use the following command: Sample: cudahashcat -m 2500 -a 3 capture.hccap ?d?d?d?d?d?d?d?d Read Cracking MD5, phpBB, MySQL and SHA1 passwords with Hashcat on Kali Linux for dictionary related attacks in full length. I am not going to explain the same thing twice here. :)Īnother guide explains how this whole Dictionary attack works. Why we are showing this here? Cause we can. You should remember, if you’re going to use Dictionary attack, Pyrit would be much much much faster than cudaHashcat or oclHashcat or Hashcat. Depending on your dictionary size, it might take a while. Now use the following command to start the cracking process: cudahashcat -m 2500 /root/hs/out.hccap /root/rockyou.txtīingo, I used a common password for this Wireless AP. Here’s a short rundown: cudahashcat -help | grep WPA I’ve covered this in great length in Cracking MD5, phpBB, MySQL and SHA1 passwords with Hashcat on Kali Linux guide. Read this guide Cracking Wifi WPA2 WPA passwords using pyrit cowpatty in Kali Linux for detailed instructions on how to get this dictionary file and sorting/cleaning etc.įirst we need to find out which mode to use for WPA2 WPA handshake file. CudaHashcat or oclHashcat or Hashcat on Kali Linux is very flexible, so I’ll cover two most common and basic scenarios:
