You want to test the security of your network? If in the past we needed an operating system like Windows or Linux with a specific wireless network card to scan and hack wireless networks, now we can simply use Android devices. This tool is available free of charge as long as your device is compatible. To note that hacking the router without permission is illegal. You should use these steps to test the security of your own network. See Step 1 below to find out how.
Step
Method 1 of 2: WEP router
Step 1. Root - is a compatible device. Not every Android phone or tablet can hack WPS PIN. This device must have a Broadcom bcm4329 or bcm4330 wireless chipset, and must be rooted. Cyanogen ROM has proven to be the most up to date for this. Some of the devices that are known to support include:
- Nexus 7
- Galaxy S1/S2/S3/S4/S5
- Galaxy y
- Nexus One
- Desire HD
- Micromax A67
Step 2. Download and install bcmon
This app enables Monitor Mode on Broadcom chipset which is essential for PIN hacking. The bcmon APK file is available for free from the bcmon page on the Google Code website.
To install the APK file, you must allow installation from unknown sources from the Security menu. See Step 2 of this article for more details
Step 3. Run bcmon
Once the APK file is installed, run the application. Install firmware and assistive devices if prompted. Tap the Enable Monitor Mode option. If the app crashes suddenly, open it and try again. If it still fails the third time, your device is most likely not supported.
Your device must be rooted to be able to run bcmon
Step 4. Tap Run bcmon terminal
This will launch a terminal similar to most Linux terminals. Type in airodump-ng and tap the "Enter" key. The airdump will load, and you'll be taken back to the Command Prompt again. Type in airodump-ng wlan0 and tap the "Enter" key.
Step 5. Specify the access point you want to hack
You will see a list of available access points. You must select an access point that uses WEP encryption.
Step 6. Take note of the MAC address that appears
This is the MAC address for the router. Make sure you write down the correct address if there are multiple routers listed. Write down this MAC address.
Also note the transmitter channel of this access point
Step 7. Start scanning for channels
You must collect information from this access point for several hours before attempting to crack the password. Type airodump-ng -c channel# --bssid MAC address -w output ath0 then tap "Enter". Airodump will start scanning. You can let the device temporarily scan the information. Make sure to connect it to a charger so it doesn't run out of battery.
- Replace channel# with the access point broadcasting channel number (eg 6).
- Replace the MAC address with the MAC address of the router (eg 00:0a:95:9d:68:16).
- Keep scanning until you reach at least 20,000-30,000 packets.
Step 8. Hack the password
Once you have the appropriate number of packages, you can try hacking the password. Return to Terminal and type aircrack-ng output*.cap, then tap "Enter".
Step 9. Write down the hexadecimal password once done
Once the hacking process is complete (which could take several hours), the Key Found! appears, followed by a key in hexadecimal form. Make sure the Probability value is 100%. Otherwise the key won't work.
When entering the key, enter it without the ":" sign. For example, for the key 12:34:56:78:90, enter 1234567890
Method 2 of 2: WPA2 WPS Router
Step 1. Root - is a compatible device. Not every Android phone or tablet can hack WPS PIN. This device must have a Broadcom bcm4329 or bcm4330 wireless chipset, and must be rooted. Cyanogen ROM has proven to be the most up to date for this. Some of the devices that are known to support include:
- Nexus 7
- Galaxy Ace/S1/S2/S3
- Nexus One
- Desire HD
Step 2. Download and install bcmon
This app enables Monitor Mode on Broadcom chipset which is essential for PIN hacking. The bcmon APK file is available for free from the bcmon page on the Google Code website.
To install the APK file, you must allow installation from unknown sources from the Security menu. See Step 2 of this article for more details
Step 3. Run bcmon
Once the APK file is installed, run the application. Install firmware (firmware) and tools if prompted. Tap the Enable Monitor Mode option. If the app crashes suddenly, open it and try again. If it still fails the third time, your device is most likely not supported.
Your device must be rooted to be able to run bcmon
Step 4. Download and install Reaver
Reaver is a program developed to hack WPS PINs by retrieving WPA2 passphrases. The Reaver APK file can be downloaded from the developer thread on the XDA-Developers forum.
Step 5. Run Reaver
Tap the Reaver for Android icon in the list of apps. After confirming that you are not using it for illegal purposes, Reaver will scan for available access points. Tap the access point you want to hack.
- You may have to confirm Monitor Mode before continuing. Bcmon will open again if this happens.
- The access point you select must be able to accept WPS authentication. Not all routers (routers) can do this.
Step 6. Double check the settings on your phone
In most cases you can leave the default settings. Make sure the Automatic advanced settings box is checked.
Step 7. Start the hacking process
Tap the Start attack button at the bottom of the Reaver Settings menu. The monitor will open and you will see the results of the ongoing process displayed.
