How to hack wifi networks
Note : Only For Educational Purpose.>!!!
1) First we need to scan for available wireless networks.
Theres this great tool for windows to do this.. called “NetStumbler” or Kismet
for Windows and Linux and KisMac for Mac.

The two most common encryption types are:
1) WEP
2) WAP
1) WEP
2) WAP
WEP i.e Wire Equivalent Privacy is not consideres as safe as WAP i.e Wireless Application Protocol.
WEP have many flaws that allows a hacker to crack a WEP key easily.. whereas WAP is currently the most secure and best option to secure a wi-fi network.. It can’t be easily cracked as WEP because the only way to retreive a WAP key is to use a brute-force attack or dictionary atack. Here I’ll tell you how to Crack WEP

To crack WEP we will be using Live Linux distribution called BackTrack to
crack WEP.
BackTrack have lots of preinstalled softwares for this very purpose..
The tools we will be using on Backtrack are:
Kismet – a wireless network detector
airodump – captures packets from a wireless router
aireplay – forges ARP requests
aircrack – decrypts the WEP keys
1) First of all we have to find a wireless access point along with its bssid, essid and channel number. To do this we will run kismet by opening up the terminal and typing in kismet. It may ask you for the appropriate adapter which in my case is ath0. You can see your device’s name by typing in the command iwconfig.
