Using someone else’s Internet or “Tell me your Wi-Fi password”

In today's article, let's touch on a sensitive topic: how to hack a Wi-Fi network. Someone will ask, is this legal? Of course not, this is considered a serious offense, so if anyone decides to do this, they do it at their own peril and risk. Of course, this can happen to everyone when the money in your account runs out and your Internet is turned off. And at this very moment, force majeure circumstances appeared when Internet access was urgently needed. So what remains to be done? That's right, use your neighbor's Wi-Fi internet. Option one, we’ll ask him for the password to his WiFi network, option two, we’ll hack his WiFi network. We will tell you how to do this below in the article.

Selecting a Wi-Fi network password manually

We are looking for WiFi with the highest signal level. Preference is given to a neighbor's network or the network that you know the owner of. Later you will understand why this is so. Very often, inexperienced users set a password without thinking about the complexity of the typed password. And all their imagination ends with the date of birth, the name of the pet, the last name. Knowing the neighbor (owner) of Wi-Fi, it will not be difficult for you to find the key. If it didn’t work out with the selection of your neighbor’s personal information, move on to the next option, which is very popular among users. These are the most common passwords, we list them below in the table.

One of the advantages of this method is its simplicity, but there are also disadvantages, one of them is the time that needs to be spent on this method. Especially if a neighbor has set restrictions on entering a password and login in the router settings, then after 3 unsuccessful attempts, the next attempts can only be made the next day.

Hacking methods

You won’t find anything on the global network, even descriptions of fraudulent activities to obtain free Wi-Fi. If your knowledge in the field of Internet technologies is not significant, then it is better to ask a hacker you know to help. For those who can handle it on their own, here are some popular methods:

  • guess the password;
  • use a special program so that it selects the “key”;
  • get the device PIN;
  • "phishing";
  • intercept the password.

How to guess the password yourself

In each method, you should initially select Wi-Fi with the best signal level. Having chosen the first method, you will have to think a little. It’s unlikely that the neighbor’s Wi-Fi is seriously encrypted. If he is far from information technology, an ordinary inexperienced user, then he is unlikely to have thought long about the complexity of the combination. Most likely, he used his date of birth, his wife or child, and maybe even his last name.

When the simplest options with personal information do not work, you should pay attention to other popular “passwords”. Most often, users use the following combinations of numbers – “1234”, “1111”, “123123” and similar ones, as well as passwords made from letters – “qwerty”, “password” and others. There are many frequently used combinations for Wi-Fi protection; the Internet is full of information on this topic, and specific combinations are also presented.

The method has a significant advantage - simplicity, but there are also disadvantages - the duration of the process. The restriction on input attempts will waste a lot of time. If someone else's Wi-Fi has such a thing, then after three unsuccessful attempts you will have to enter the password again only a day later.

Password guessing software

How to crack a complex Wi-Fi password? The principle of such programs is simple, they operate by analogy with a person. Only the computer is many times faster and smarter. The programs have entire dictionaries with popular combinations. Sometimes the machine selects passwords in minutes, sometimes the process drags on for several days. First, simple versions are used, then complex ones. Recognition time depends on the complexity of the password. This technology is also called “brute force”, which means searching for a password.

Examples of programs to familiarize yourself with are Aircrack-ng, Wi-Fi Sidejacking, Wi-Fi Unlocker AirSlax and others. There are many of them on the Internet, this is only a small part. By downloading such software, the fraudster himself risks being deceived. Trojans and other troubles will instantly take over your computer.

The idea of ​​connecting technology to find a password is brilliant. True, this method also has its disadvantages. The main one is a negative outcome. The selection may be unsuccessful. This means that a too complex combination of symbols, letters and numbers is conceived, which is not yet familiar to such a program.

Hacking by changing the MAC address

Some craftsmen prefer to filter by MAC address (MAC address is a unique identifier that each device has) instead of a password. When scanning, you will see a network that you can supposedly connect to without problems, but when you try, nothing will work. This means there is filtering that you need to bypass.

You need to find out which MAC addresses are allowed to connect. Here programs that can scan, for example, Airodump-NG, MAC Address Scanner, will come to your aid.

Having found out the MAC address, you can begin to change your MAC address on your computer.

Go to “Start”, “Control Panel”, find “Network and Sharing Center” on the top left side, look for the line “Change network adapter settings”.

Select an active network connection, right-click on it and click on the “Properties” line. In the window that pops up, find the “Network” tab and click on the “Configure” button. We activate the network address and enter a new MAC.

To replace the MAC Address on Windows 10, there is a very convenient utility, Technitium MAC Address Changer, with which you can quickly do this. Next, it is recommended to restart the PC. Done, so we found out how you can hack Wi-Fi by substituting the MAC address.

Risks of using someone else's Wi-Fi

Wifi WPS Unlocker program for checking the security of your home Wi-Fi network

If a PC user manages to guess the password for someone else’s Internet, caution should be exercised. In residential sectors, when creating a connection, a home network is used, this gives full access and communication between all gadgets within it. Therefore, if someone detects a connection, they can easily enter the “hacker’s” device and harm files: photos, videos, etc.

In the same way, you can obtain more important information, for example, passwords from social networks or electronic wallets if they were used from the device. But most likely, after detection, the “thief” will simply be “banned” by MAC address. The chance to take advantage of this will become impossible.

Hacking WiFi password using programs

There are many hacking programs in this segment, but we will talk about the most popular ones.

Aircrack-ng hacker

The Aircrack-ng utility has good reviews from users. This is a large set of tools, which includes: airodump, aireplay, aircrack, airdecap.

  • Download and unpack. Go to the “Bin” folder and run the Aircrack-ng GUI file.
  • In the “Filenames” tab, you need to select a dump that will intercept packets and keys. For example, you can use the CommView for WiFi utility for these purposes.
  • We assign the type of encryption with which the Wi-Fi network is protected: either WEP or WPA For the WEP option, you need to assign the key length and make o. For the WPA option, you just need to decide on a dictionary to guess the password.
  • The last action you need to do is click on the “Launch” button. The entire search process takes 2-5 minutes.

Brute force method

The essence of brute force is the fully automated selection of all possible password options. This method is suitable for advanced users; it will be extremely difficult for an ordinary user. Such hacker methods are often used to hack payment systems, online banks, and accounts.

If you decide to try Brute force, keep in mind that PC characteristics play a big role; if the computer is weak, the program can do the analysis for several days.

At the moment, there are several options for “full search”:

  1. Personal hacking. This is when your email, account, website is hacked.
  2. Brute check. There is a big hunt going on here, no one needs 1-2 passwords, they are interested in a large number of passwords from some large resources.
  3. Hacking of a computer device performed remotely.

The following applications work well with Brute force: Brutus AET, All-in-One Checker, Appnimi Password Unlocker.

Hackers for Windows - AirSlax, Wi-FI Sidejacking, CommView for WiFi, Dumpper

  1. AirSlax is a utility that catches packets on a Wi-Fi network; in the future, they are needed to guess the password. Selects a password with WPA, WPA2, WEP encryption, as well as a PIN code via WPS.
  2. Wi-FI Sidejacking - this hacker is completely free, few settings, the utility is presented in Russian, we support mobile devices.
  3. CommView for WiFi - suitable for any Windows OS, the utility captures and analyzes network packets. Russian language is present.
  4. Dumpper - this utility on the router is used to crack its PIN code. Let's launch the scanner. In a minute you will know about all the computers within a couple of meters. This PIN will be required for some utilities that will help you crack your WiFi password.

How to hack Wi-Fi from a phone?

The easiest way is to install the free “Kali Linux” application from the app store on your smartphone or tablet and run it.
Using the program does not cause problems, since most of the processes in it are automated. If it is impossible to install the above utility, it is recommended to find and install “Linux Deploy” in the market, the menu of which is also not complicated.

Despite the ease of installation of these tools, they are advanced hacking tools that even a novice hacker can understand. Advanced users often use “WiFinspect” for hacking. It allows you to display detailed information about the operating modes of detected networks. The program is also freely distributed, but some of its functions require root.

If you have Root permissions, you can also use the powerful Wifi Analyzer tool. It successfully copes not only with Wi-Fi networks at a frequency of 2.4 GHz, but also 5 GHz.

Owners of Apple phones can successfully hack their neighbor's Wi-Fi by installing Airslax or Aircrack-ng.

What are the dangers of using your neighbor's wifi?

Some open neighborhood networks that are not encrypted and have no protection against interception are dangerous to use.

Since every attacker who connects to such Wi-Fi is able to intercept and scan the traffic of any clients.

If the network is encrypted and protected, then the danger is reduced, but in order to use such Wi-Fi, you will have to hack it, and this is punishable under Articles 272 and 273 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

Obviously, in order to punish a hacker, you will need to find him, for example, by identifying his IP. It should be noted that for this the victim will need to make a corresponding request to the provider company. Communications companies that provide communication services for Internet access can only release information to DMV employees or people from government agencies with even greater power. It is not possible for ordinary individuals to obtain the data directly.

After identifying the burglar, he will be held accountable under Art. 272 (“Illegal access to computer information”) only if it is proven that the victim’s data has been deleted, encrypted, changed or copied.

Punishment for hacking networks

Punishment under Article 273 will follow in the case of writing applications that aim to erase (encrypt-block, change, copy) information or when using and distributing such utilities. If the hacker used access to the global network for a long time and the victim suffered damage of more than 250,000 rubles. When paying for traffic downloaded by an attacker, the attacker will be punished under Art. 165 (Causing property damage to the owner...).

Hacking wifi: Programs and applications

Many utilities have been developed for hacking Wi-Fi networks. Some of them may seem too simple to use, but this does not reduce their effectiveness. Applications are released for all existing platforms; below we will consider the most popular of them.

Hacking a password using the Pin code of the equipment

To find out the password via the Pin code of a device that has WPA encryption, WPA2 you will need:

  1. Laptop or computer, if you have a computer then you need to have a Wi-Fi adapter on it.
  2. Minimum 2 GB USB flash drive
  3. Elcomsoft Wireless Security Auditor program.

We recommend working on Linux OS, as all procedures are much easier to complete. If this is not possible, everything will work in Windows.

  • We format the flash drive and download the “WiFi Slax” utility onto it. We launch the program on the flash drive by clicking on “Wifislax Boot Installer”. Specify parameter S and press “Enter”
  • We reboot and launch from our flash drive.
  • Select launch from the SMP kernel, and wifislax from KDE, wait for the download.
  • We replace the MAC of the laptop by doing “ifconfig wlan0 down” in the console.
  • Open “Macchanger”, click “Change MAC”.
  • Exit the utility and execute “ifconfig wlan0 down” in the console.
  • Launch “minidwep-gtk”, click “Scan” and wait. WPS technology can be hacked much more easily, so we recommend it for beginners.
  • After scanning, select the victim and click “Reaver”. That's it, we're expecting a hacked Wi-Fi password.

There is an easier way to find out Pin, just go to your neighbor's house. When it moves away, take the router and turn it over, there you will see the WPS Pin.

Protecting your WiFi network from hacking

The more layers of protection you provide, the longer and more difficult the procedure for hacking your network will be, and a novice hacker may even abandon the idea altogether. Therefore, it is recommended to use all the recommendations described below without missing any.

Set a password to enter the router web configurator

  1. In the router’s web interface, open the “System Tools” tab.
  2. Next, enter the “Password” subsection and set a reliable access code. Be sure to click “Save” when finished.
  3. Set an access code for the Wi-Fi network.
  4. Go to the “Wireless” tab and then go to the “Wireless Security” subsection. Set the encryption type to “WPA/WPA2” and use your imagination to set a complex password.
  5. Save the entered parameters and restart the router.
  6. Hide Wi-Fi name
  7. Open the “Wireless” tab again. Remove o.
  8. Click “Save”.

Activate MAC filtering Determine the MAC of devices that will be allowed to connect to Wi-Fi (for example, you can see the smartphone address in the “About phone” settings section). Next, open the “Wireless MAC Filtering” subsection in the “Wireless” tab.

  1. Click “Enable” and activate the “Allow the stations specified by any enabled entries in the list to access” box.
  2. Next, click “Add New...”.
  3. Specify a MAS with an allowed status.
  4. Click “Save”.
  5. Disable QSS (WPS).
  6. Open the “WPS” tab (in some interfaces of router models it is called “QSS”). Click "Disable WPS".
  7. Restart the router.

Utility with a million wi-fi passwords

There is another method to hack someone else's Wi-Fi, for this you just need to download the utility, thanks to which you will not need to hack anything, you will just need to find the nearest point with the Internet.

Wi-fi map - Suitable for any gadget. The idea of ​​the application is to exchange Wi-Fi passwords around the world. The utility will display passwords to the nearest Wi-Fi networks on your gadget, but only if someone has connected here before and entered the password and login into the Wi-Fi map.

WiFi You – This application already has about 20 million hotspots around the world.

Swift WiFi – A similar utility to Wi-fi map, the principle is the same. Install the application, and your gadget will automatically connect to the nearest wireless network that is in the program database.

Legal consequences of hacking someone else's Wi-Fi

How to find out your Wi-Fi password on your phone
It should be clear that connecting to someone else’s network will not go unpunished. Theft of WI-FI is considered a crime, which is prescribed in articles 272, 273, 274 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

If the use of the Internet belonging to another subscriber has caused moral harm or resulted in the loss or publication of data, punishment cannot be avoided. Connecting to someone else's Wi-Fi for a long time causes material losses; this no longer refers to cybercrimes, but to theft and faces a fine of up to 250 thousand rubles.

Relatively recently, amendments were adopted providing for criminal penalties for the use of third-party Internet resources and imprisonment for up to five years.

Hack the password from your smartphone

WPS Connect is the main goal of this program to determine how vulnerable a router that uses the default Pin code is to Wi-Fi hacking. To use this utility, your device must be rooted.

WIBR+ - great for Android phones. The program can simultaneously perform several actions to select a password for two networks at once.

  1. Download and install.
  2. Click on the “Add Network” item and add the network with the best signal.
  3. We check the boxes in the settings that are needed.
  4. Click on Add to Queue. Done, the utility will start working.

There is a small drawback to this application: after generating each key, it needs to reconnect to the network.

WiHack mobile - this application is suitable for both Windows and Android. To crack a Wi-Fi password, she uses two options that the user can choose from: brute force (simple brute force) or the much more efficient option of packet analysis. It is better to install the full version.

Hacker utility for iPhone

There is a utility for iPhone called Aircrack, it works using the interception method. There will be no difficulties in working with it, it is simple and automated.

  1. Download, install and launch.
  2. We scan, select from the list the network that you will hack.
  3. We wait a little, it's ready.

Instructions: Find out the password for your neighbor's Wi-Fi

After starting the CommView software, restart your computer device. Now all that remains is to determine the password for your neighbor’s Wi-Fi

, and to do this proceed as follows:

1) Enter the menu and open the “Rules” section - there are the “Packet Date” and “Capture” items.

2) Go to “Settings” and tick the required items.

3) Open the “Memory Usage” tab and enter the number of packets in the buffer, the number of lines and the speed of your Internet connection.

4) In the main window of the software, find the Log files and set the “Autosave” function. Specify the maximum size of files (5 m) and directory (200 m).

5) Start searching by clicking on the “Capture” button, after which the accumulation of packets will begin, the number of which can be close to 2 million. On the screen on the right you will see a list of signals in the access area with the corresponding characteristics.

6) Wait for the accumulation process to complete, then press the key combination “Ctrl” + “L”. Save the Log files and convert them to the *cap extension - this is what the Aircrack utility works with. The conversion is carried out in the following sequence: file -> viewing Log files -> Log Viewer. Then: file -> download CommView Log file. After the download is complete: file -> export Log files -> format (Tcpdump).

Wi-Fi fishing (phishing)

This method of deception to obtain a password is not often used. The essence is to visit a phishing page (double page), the user, having visited this page, enters his password and login. This is how easy it is for a hacker to find out your data. To obtain secret data about a Wi-Fi network, hackers often resort to using the WiFiPhisher utility.

Using WiFiPhisher is simple, you just need to:

  • We configure HTTP, HTTPS.
  • We scan wlan0 and wlan1 until it connects.
  • DHCP snooping and IP address output.
  • Select a Wi-Fi point.
  • We make a copy of the access point and enter a similar network name. The real access point will perform worse, causing the user to connect to your clone.
  • The browser will ask the user to enter login, password. Thus, secret data falls into the hands of a hacker.

Selecting a password manually

The first method is the simplest. All you need to do is think a little. It has been repeatedly verified that Wi-Fi networks are either not protected by a password, or it is standard, or slightly modified. All this suggests that such a password can be guessed. Here are 10 examples of such cases:

  • 1234
  • 12345
  • 111111
  • 123123
  • 123456
  • 696969
  • 1234567
  • 12345678
  • 87654321
  • 000000

There are entire tops of the most famous passwords on the Internet that you can view yourself. Some providers use standard character sets for their routers.

Necessary measures to protect your WiFi network

  1. Set passwords with a complex combination of letters and numbers, the number of characters should be 8-12.
  2. It is necessary to turn off WPS because this function saves authorized users and when prompted again, it will automatically connect them.
  3. Sometimes it is necessary to change the PIN on the router and peel off the factory tag where the PIN is written.
  4. Do not enter your PIN on unverified sites.
  5. When setting up a router, do not use the old WEP and TKIP encryption types, use the new WEP2 or other more advanced types.
  6. Limit the maximum number of connected devices. For example, you have a laptop and a tablet in your house, so limit it to 2 devices. After this, more than two will not connect.
  7. Hide your net. Check the “Hide SSID” box.
  8. Don't forget to periodically update the firmware on your router.

How to connect to a neighbor's wi-fi using an unsecured network?

The easiest and freest way to access Wi-Fi is to connect to an unsecured network. Not every owner of a wi-fi router sets a password for their network, and often some are not even aware of this possibility.

So let's get down to business:

  • First we need to turn on our tablet or laptop (or other device), waiting until it boots up completely. If necessary, you can run the wi-fi module on your laptop, after which the system will automatically find all nearby wi-fi networks, if any.

How to connect to your neighbor's Wi-Fi

  • If you are sure that your neighbor definitely has a wi-fi router and is using it, then your laptop/tablet/phone will immediately detect this. At the bottom right of the display or monitor, you will see an icon similar to the one in phones that indicates communication with a mobile network (antenna). By clicking on it, we will open a window with a list of all wi-fi networks located nearby. Among them we need to find an unprotected network

How to connect to your neighbor's Wi-Fi

  • How do you know which network is unsecured? In the picture below you can see a yellow shield with an exclamation mark next to the vertical stripes. This is an unprotected network. All other networks on the list are, accordingly, protected, and we will not be able to connect to them without knowing the password. Of course, the icons themselves may have different appearances on different devices; for example, sometimes a secure network is indicated as a padlock. But the principle itself is clear to us

How to connect to your neighbor's Wi-Fi

  • After we have found an unsecured network, we need to click on it with the mouse and then click on “Connection”

How to connect to your neighbor's Wi-Fi

  • After this the connection process will begin

How to connect to your neighbor's Wi-Fi

  • We pay attention to the lower right part of the display to the icon we already know and wait until the pop-up message appears: “Internet access”

How to connect to your neighbor's Wi-Fi

That's all. The process of connecting to your neighbor’s wi-fi via an unsecured network is complete. Now we can freely surf the Internet.

Ways to find your wireless network password

Let's consider several really working methods that will not reveal the burglar ahead of time. The hacking process itself can take several weeks. Yes, don’t be surprised, because the password is not always eight characters; there are more characters. Access to a WI-FI network implies obtaining all data, email passwords, credit card numbers, so some unscrupulous hackers take advantage of this and steal data.

Hack WI-FI password by brute force guessing

This is the very first method that comes to mind for burglars. All that is required from the user is to select a network, load the “dictionary” into brute force and wait. The speed of selection directly depends on the power of the computer, but most often the user’s patience runs out and he looks for other methods.

Hacking by changing the MAC address and intercepting packets

Faster method. To do this, you need to monitor the network using an analyzer and view packets. This can be done in various ways, so we will not focus on this. The essence of the method is to receive a packet containing information about the user's connection to the network. To do this, you need to monitor the network around the clock. In addition, the packet will be encrypted, so you will have to collect all the data and decrypt it. The process is not the fastest, but there is a chance to catch the required packet on time.

Hacking programs

You can crack passwords not only with Windows OS, so we will consider other methods too. Note that the most convenient system for hacking is Linux or UNIX.

For Windows

In a secure wireless connection, Internet data is sent in encrypted packets. These packets are encrypted with network security keys. If you somehow manage to get your hands on the key for a specific wireless network, you actually have access to the wireless Internet connection. Simply put, there are two main types of encryption used.

  • WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy). This is the most basic form of encryption. This is not a secure option at the moment as it is vulnerable and can be hacked very easily. However, many people still use this encryption.
  • WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access). This is a safer alternative. Effectively cracking a passphrase on such a network requires using a list of common password words. In other words, the attacker uses old-fashioned trial and error to gain access. Password options include WPA-2, which is the most secure encryption alternative available today. Although it can also be cracked using a list of words, unless the password is shared, it is almost impossible to crack through brute force. That is, if the WPA PIN is still enabled (as it is by default on many routers).

Cracking WEP passwords is relatively quick, so we'll focus on how to crack them for this guide. If all the networks around you use WPA passwords, you need to follow this guide.

What will you need?

Compatible Wireless Adapter:

This is by far the biggest requirement. Your computer's wireless card must be compatible with CommVIew software. This ensures that the wireless card can go into monitoring mode, which is necessary to capture packets. Click here to check your wireless card compatibility

  • CommView for Wi-Fi:

This software will be used to capture packets from the desired network adapter. You can download it from the official website

  • Aircrack-ng GUI:

After capturing the packets, this software performs the hack by sending back the resulting passwords one by one.

Setup Guide

  1. Download the CommView for Wi-Fi zip file from the website.
  2. Extract the file and run setup.exe to install CommView for Wi-Fi.
  3. When CommView opens for the first time, it will show the driver installation guide.
  4. Follow the instructions to install the driver for your wireless card.
  5. Launch CommView for Wi-Fi.
  6. Click the play icon in the top left corner of the application window.
  7. Start scanning for wireless networks.

CommView begins scanning wireless networks by channel. In a few minutes you will have a long list of wireless networks with their security type and signal. Now it's time to select your target network.

Target network selection and packet capture

A few things to remember before choosing your target wireless network:

  • This guide is only for WEP encrypted networks, so make sure you select the network with WEP next to its name.
  • If you need to hack a WPA encrypted network, please use another tutorial.
  • Choose the network with the strongest signal.
  • Each network will have its data in the right column.
  • Make sure the WEP network you select has the lowest dB (decibels) value.
  • Once you have selected the target network, select it and click “Capture” to start capturing packets from the desired channel.

Now you can notice that packets are being captured from all networks on a particular link. To capture packets only from the desired network, follow the given steps.

  1. Right-click on the desired network and click on Copy MAC Address.
  2. Go to the Rules tab at the top.
  3. On the left side, select MAC Addresses.
  4. Enable MAC Address Rules.
  5. For “Action” select “capture”, and for “Add entry” select “both”.
  6. Now paste the MAC address you copied earlier into the box below.
  7. We only need to capture data packets for hacking. So, select D from the bar at the top of the window and deselect M (Package Management) and C (Package Management

Now you need to save the packages so that you can hack them later. Do it:

  1. Go to the registration tab at the top and turn on auto-save.
  2. Set the maximum directory size to 2000.
  3. Set the average log file size to 20.
  4. Wait for results (sometimes you have to wait a long time.

NOTE. The time required to capture enough data packets depends on the signal and network congestion. The minimum number of packets you should intercept should be 100,000 (for a decent signal).

Once you decide you have enough packages (at least 100,000 packages), you will need to export them.

  1. Go to the log tab and click on merged logs.
  2. Select all logs that have been saved.
  3. Keep CommView open for Wi-Fi.
  4. Now go to the folder where the merged logs were saved.
  5. Open the log file.
  6. Select File-Export -Wire shark tcpdump and select any appropriate destination.
  7. This will save the logs with the .cap extension in this location.

The final stage. Breaking

  1. Download Aircrack-ng and extract the zip file.
  2. Open the folder and navigate to “bin”.
  3. Launch Aircrack-ng GUI.
  4. Select WEP.
  5. Open the .cap file you saved earlier.
  6. Click Launch.
  7. At the command prompt, enter the serial number of your target wireless network.
  8. Wait a little. If everything goes well, the password will be displayed on the screen.

Android Applications

Hacking applications are aimed at weakly protected networks, the protocol of which implies free viewing of packets. If the network is well protected, the application will not work. Most programs are not available for download on Google Play because they are viruses and phishing software. For security reasons, the editors of the resource do not distribute download links and do not recommend using such programs. Moreover, the power of the most expensive smartphone is not enough to guess the password before the battery runs out.

iPhone apps

It's even worse here - all Apple devices have the highest degree of protection. Even from users (getting access to the root folder is quite difficult). Downloading hacking programs from the AppStore is not realistic, because preliminary moderation would not allow it to be downloaded if it actually guessed passwords. By analogy with the point above, it is impossible to pick up a password for a WI-FI network from a phone.

Applications with databases of already hacked Wi-Fi passwords

Here, passwords can be posted by both developers and users for a special reward. Below are those programs that can be called the best in this segment.

Wi-fi map (Android/IOS) - This application has a fairly intuitive and beautiful interface.
Using GIS, Wifi-Map will be able to determine where you are and give you network passwords that are available in the database. You can also move offline by simply downloading in advance all the passwords for the area you are going to move to. On forums such as 4PDA, you can find information on how to download for free all the passwords currently available in the database and travel without the Internet. Swift WiFi (Android) - The features of this software include optimization of WiFi energy consumption and its analyzer for various errors and security threats.
But we are most interested in its password database. It is present here, and quite extensive. Here, users give WiFi passwords for the so-called currency - coins. In the future, they can be exchanged for access to Wi-Fi. Router Scan (Windows) - Well, let's move on to heavier artillery. Router Scan will help you get all the information about Wi-Fi, including the password, because the program takes advantage of all the vulnerabilities and bugs of the router to gain access to the network. Using the IP range of your city, you can see many passwords and then use this software to connect to WiFi.

WiFi You (Android) - Unfortunately, it is not suitable for everyone, because it is only in English. Nevertheless, this program is quite understandable and has an interesting interface, and also has a password database.

This concludes the list of applications with already hacked passwords. Of all the applications, Router Scan will be more productive, since it has many tools for finding information about the network and gaining access to it. The rest are distinguished by their mobility and beautiful interface.

Programs for analyzing wifi networks

Good network testing, especially for organizations, is perhaps the most important part of using the network. The programs listed below will help you patch all the holes.

MAC Address Scanner - A program for searching, scanning the network and detecting MAC addresses.
What captivates us about this software is its fairly simple and intuitive interface, as well as its availability on the Internet. Wifi Analyzer (Windows/Android) - The main task of the program is to analyze the distribution of channels to eliminate various interference associated with other routers.
You can also test the network signal level in this software. Another thing that can be highlighted is that this application can be used even on Android and does not lose out in any way in terms of functionality from the PC version of the program. WiFinspect (Android) - The same program for network statistics and analysis. But it already requires superuser rights, which can be obtained for your device by going to forums on this topic, for example, on 4PDA. But the application is not bad and, most importantly, free.

Of course, all programs are good in their own way, some are functional, some have a more intuitive interface. It’s impossible to single out something - they are all intended for something specific.

Programs for cracking Wi-Fi passwords for Linux

Linux users can also rejoice, because for this OS there are also ways to hack the network.
You will learn about them now. Kali Linux - This is a very functional distribution for Linux, which has in its stock testing, network analysis, hacking with password guessing and much more.
Kali Linux is one of the favorites in the field of hacking among users due to its flexibility of configuration and versatility of use. Macchanger - Simplicity, convenience - this is all about this tool. It can change the MAC address of a PC, as well as restore it. The only drawback for an unprepared user will be the presence of only one language - English.

Airodump-ng - Using GPS, you can intercept WiFi data and this tool will help you with this. All this can also be switched to monitoring mode for easier study of the network.

All tools are combined into one large distribution - Kali Linux. It is impossible to single out favorites here, because everyone is responsible for something different.

Programs for quick Wi-Fi hacking

This is where password selection is most involved. Sometimes it really helps out if you need to quickly hack into a network.

Brutus AET - Yes, many old-timers will say that this software has expired. But for many it can still be useful, because its advantages include simplicity and convenience. He also spends quite a long time looking for the key to access the network, but all this depends on the database of passwords that you give him to research.

All-in-One Checker - The program is well optimized and has a pretty good interface. Here, too, based on databases, the network is hacked, after which you can safely use WiFi. Of all those options, Elcomsoft Wireless Security Auditor stands out the most. It does its job well and also has many features. But of course the price is not entirely affordable.

What can you do to prevent one of these programs from breaking your Wifi?

To protect your device from unauthorized entry and network hacking, you can use additional applications. One example is Wi-Fi Protector. It is used to neutralize hacker attacks via a WiFi network on a smartphone or tablet.

The program is very simple to use. Just turn on Wi-Fi Protector and it will instantly begin protecting your device. If you want an automatic start when you turn it on, just enable the “Auto Start” function in the phone settings. The application runs in the background while constantly monitoring your connection. When suspicious activity is detected, an alarm is generated; a ring tone or vibration alert can be used as a signal. In the settings menu you can select the signal type.

If you are rooted, the program works in such a way that your device will be virtually invulnerable to such attacks. This is done by enabling the "Countermeasures" option. For regular users without advanced rights, this option is not available and they will only receive notifications about attacks.

It was very difficult to choose programs for these lists. After all, many, to one degree or another, could be outdated or not suitable for the user. But still, for different operating systems there is also software capable of hacking and network analysis, and this is quite pleasing.
