Creating a Virtual Wireless Network - The easy way

Now there are 2 other posts on the exact same topic (Creating A dummy wifi for hacking and  Create A Wireless Ad-Hoc Network on Windows 8 Using command line). However, they sometimes don't turn out to be beginner friendly. So this post discusses how to Create a Virtual Wireless Network without any computer knowledge. Just follow these steps word to word, and you will be done. This method creates a WPA secured wireless network.



  1. You will need 2 wireless adapters, since one will be used on Windows (to create a fake wifi) and other on Kali linux (to hack the fake wifi). What I've got is internal wireless adapter and Dlink external adapter. That's enough to do the trick. 
  2. Now,  follow this link to download Virtual Wifi Hotspot for Windows 7 and 8.
  3. Click download, follow the screenshots.
  4. After download finishes, install the program (figure that out by yourself, its an easy setup)
  5. Enter the details in the application, and click on Start Virtual Router Plus.
  6. You'll see a successful message on the taskbar, and the internet connections will reflect the same.
Note : This can't be used to create a WEP protected wireless network
