Getting Started with WPA Hacking

Introduction

The slides above are from my talk to DC604 in July 2020 about WPA Hacking. I've included a sample capture file for people to practice with.

Usage

You will need hcxtools and hashcat. The password is bettyboop1 which appears in the rockyou.txt wordlist available from SecLists.

git clone https://github.com/oldrho/getting_started_with_wpa_hacking.git
cd getting_started_with_wpa_hacking
hcxpcapngtool -o hashes capture.pcapng
hashcat -m22000 hashes rockyou.txt
# Or
hashcat -m22000 hashes -a3 bettyboop1
