HOWTO : Install HashCat on Ubuntu 16.04.3
hashcat is the world's fastest and most advanced password recovery utility, supporting five unique modes of attack for over 200 highly-optimized hashing algorithms. hashcat currently supports CPUs, GPUs, and other hardware accelerators on Linux, Windows, and macOS, and has facilities to help enable distributed password cracking.
Step 1 :
Step 2 :
To crack WPA/WPA2 passphrase, convert cap to hccapx :
If using WAIDPS, copy the "cap" file to "~/infosec" :
If you are using Kali Linux 2017.3, "cap2hccapx.bin" is located at the following :
Step 3 :
The following are the example usgaes of hashcat to crack WPA/WPA2 passphrase:
To crack with rockyou dictionary :
To crack up to 8 digits :
To crack up to 8 characters for all available characters including space :
To crack with rules and rockyou dictionary :
The WPA/WPA2 crack on MacBook Pro (Retina Mid 2012 - NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M and Intel HD Graphics 4000) with hashcat required about half an hour for captioned first 2 examples. The third example requires over 305 years to complete on my MacBook Pro. The forth example requires 1 day and 13 hours to complete on my MacBook Pro.
