This tutorial walks you through cracking WPA/WPA2 networks which use pre-shared keys. I recommend you do some background reading to better understand what WPA/WPA2 is. The Wiki links page has a WPA/WPA2 section. The best document describing WPA is Wi-Fi Security - WEP, WPA and WPA2. This is the link to download the PDF directly. The WPA Packet Capture Explained tutorial is a companion to this tutorial.
WPA/WPA2 supports many types of authentication beyond pre-shared keys. aircrack-ng can ONLY crack pre-shared keys. So make sure airodump-ng shows the network as having the authentication type of PSK, otherwise, don't bother trying to crack it.

IMPORTANT This means that the passphrase must be contained in the dictionary you are using to break WPA/WPA2. If it is not in the dictionary then aircrack-ng will be unable to determine the key.
The purpose of this step is to actually crack the WPA/WPA2 pre-shared key. To do this, you need a dictionary of words as input. Basically, aircrack-ng takes each word and tests to see if this is in fact the pre-shared key.
Below are some dictionaries that can be used with Kali Linux or anything that requires a Word-list. They are plain Word-list Dictionaries used to brute force WPA/WPA2 data captures with aircrack-ng.
WPA/WPA 2 Dictionaries Word-list DownloadsNote: If the Wordlist below are removed here is a Torrent Magnet Link to download a 8.5GB collection of WPA/WPA2 Wordlist Dictionaries. A Torrent client will be needed. The Big WPA List files will need to be extracted after downloading.
Hello Admin,i want ask u. i using feeding bottle by beini and using it by usb bootloader. i already download the dictionary. but i dont know how to find the dictionary file in the bootloader. hope u can teach me. I not expert person. tq
hi guys,i am a new user in learning and i studied from google and i decided to use Kali then i create a bootable usb with Linux. I used both dictionaries those are pure in backtrack one of them is rockyou.txt and other is also large more than 133 mb.but my passwords not found.now i have downloaded big wpa1 and 2 and 3. Can anyone sure by using these dictionaries you will be 100% able to find passwords or not?if not then what to do now?please seniors help us we are learning for education purpose only
Hello admin,I want to ask u. I already download dictionary. I am extracted it on my desktop but when i use ( aircrack-ng -w wordllist.text -b E8:94:F6:5B:C3:21 crack-wpa-01.cap) after this its show # aircrack-ng -w wordlist.text -b E8:94:F6:5B:C3:21 crack-wpa-01.capFopen(dictionary) failed : no such file or directoryOpnening crack-wpa-01.caphope u help me thanks
Hi, somebody, I am using Linux and i have yet to do crack wpa2. but,i use a rockyou.txt file is not working or no enough for me. cant found key for wpa2. so, how can i do? need ext that file or need download another big dict once?my rock you.txt is only 133 mb and i need to known enough or not. if need to ext, tell me how to do and need download another, teach me where can i get it every one.
No one has 4000 TB just for word lists. NSA maybe. For best results try reaver and pixidust. Github has them all ready for download. Aircrack is great but in the end the cracking process is forever. What takes 2 days can be done in minutes with hashcat. Hope this helps
hi, i`m using aircrack- nk on kali. i`m learning quite quickly, but could you please tell me this?firstly, what file extention will it except for the word lists, and how do i make it use multiple lists, when they are all over the machine (it`s a fresh install) Thank you in advance.
Hi, I downloaded the Big WPA list #1, 2 and 3. Are these three separate lists? Or are they meant to be merged into one? When I WinRAR unzipped the files it did not extract them all into one file like I thought it might. Please advise. Thanks
You can create your own wordlist or use existing ones that's been compiled by others. Usually wordlists are derived from data breaches like when a company gets hacked. The data stolen is then sold on the dark web or leaked on certain websites such as Pastebin.
RockYou (/usr/share/wordlists/rockyou) is the most popular pentest dictionary for any business. It can also be used for WiFi, but I recommend that you first clean up inappropriate passwords using the same pw-inspector.
So when i use aircrack-ng the command i use is : "aircrack-ng -w /root/wordlists/rockyou.txt capfile.cap" my 1st question is whats the difference between useing a txt file and a having a .dic file? is one better then the other?
my 2nd question is by the command i use is there something im doing wrong that makes Aircrack tell me no wordlist found if i use anyother file type or file for that matter. is there a command im missing that would let it use a .dic file?
the wordlist contains words and the aircrack will match all the words that contains in the wordlists to find out the right one , but this is done offline i mean it wont be sending wrong passwords to the AP , it will do that by checking the handcheck file
Hello! Like many people here on this page, I too am new to kali and backtrack Linux penetration. I wanted to know if the password lists need to be in some way imported into aircrack ng, or if it just finds them anywhere on the HDD? Thank you very much!
Hello. i am searching for 8 characters mix alphanumeric wordlist. my WPA password consists of 8 characters which includes Uppercase,lowercase alphabets and numbers. i tried to used Crunch to generate it but the size was too big to be created in my device.So,i will be very grateful to you if you could advise me on this.. Thanks
Hello, i am using kali linux in vm i have already downloaded dictionary in my windows folder can u suggest me a way how can i find that in linux (vm), or is there any process which needs to be done.. Thank you in adv
im using kali on the raspberry pi 3, mostly the same, but doesnt have the wordlist file. ive tried about a dozen different lists now and all come back saying "passphrase not in dictionary" 3/0 keys tested immediately after i put the command in. Using aircrack, have the WPA handshake and all
I have a question. How can I use RockYou2021.txt.gz ? for example, after I downloaded it and put it on Kali linux in any folders, what should I do that wifite2 use it as wordlist as default? because I can not replace it on /usr/share/wordlist/.
aircrack-ng is an 802.11a/b/g WEP/WPA cracking program that can recover a40-bit, 104-bit, 256-bit or 512-bit WEP key once enough encrypted packetshave been gathered. Also it can attack WPA1/2 networks with some advancedmethods or simply by brute force.
Password dictionary or a wordlist is a collection of passwords that are stored in the form of plain text. It is usually a text file that carries a bunch of passwords within it. We are sharing with you Passwords list and Wordlists for Kali Linux to download. We have also included WPA and WPA2 word list dictionaries download.
By using this we have cracked 3/10 networks near us. Keep in mind that using password cracking tools takes time especially if being done on a system without a powerful GPU. Moreover, keep in mind that this only works if the password is included in the wordlist. If you use the following kind:
This page was all about dictionary attacks, a password lists for WPA and WPA2 download and wordlists. The WPA/WPA2 password list txt file can be used to hack wireless networks. We have shared Wordlists and Password lists for Kali Linux 2022 to free download. We have also shared some handy tips on how to stay safe from dictionary attacks and how to use wordlists in Kali Linux.
During my experiments in India, the WiFi passphrases are usually a combination of Hindi and English words or a Hindu name which are, of course, not present in any dictionary that I download no matter how exhaustive it promises to be.
The list contains every wordlist, dictionary, and password database leak thatI could find on the internet (and I spent a LOT of time looking). It alsocontains every word in the Wikipedia databases (pages-articles, retrieved 2010,all languages) as well as lots of books from Project Gutenberg. It also includes thepasswords from some low-profile database breaches that were being sold in theunderground years ago.
You can test the list without downloading it by giving SHA256 hashes to the free hash cracker. Here's a tool for computing hashes easily.Here are the results of cracking LinkedIn'sand eHarmony's password hash leaks with the list.
I got some requests for a wordlist with just the "real human" passwords leakedfrom various website databases. This smaller list contains just those passwords.There are about 64 million passwords in this list!
In the GitHub repository Probable-Wordlists, we will find a great list of password dictionaries that are specifically oriented to wireless WiFi networks. The author has taken dictionaries from other GitHub projects and has leaked all passwords that would not be valid for wireless WiFi networks. Therefore, we can be sure that all the keys that we test from this dictionary will work perfectly. We can download this dictionary of keys through GitHub itself or use the .torrent file to download it via P2P because it will surely work faster for you. The size of this dictionary is 8GB because it has millions of passwords filtered for years, but they are adapted to WiFi networks. 2ff7e9595c
