You can read more about Reaver by clicking here.Ĭommon.txt is the wordlist that comes with the Fern program, but any wordlist you download or have created on your own can be used by hitting the Browse button and pointing Fern to the alternative wordlist file. I will use the Regular Attack option, but there is a WPS Attack option and I believe Fern uses the Reaver utility to launch the WPS attack. Select the AP to crack, but before clicking the Attack button to the right let’s go over a couple of settings. (I have been seeing less and less WEP enabled networks, so that is a good thing!)Ĭlicking on the WiFi WEP or WiFi WPA button will bring up the Attack screen and the top pane will list the networks found.

On Ferns home screen the networks being detected will start populating next to the WiFi WEP or WiFi WPA buttons. If the network you want to pentest has no connected client your out of luck! The most important part of the attack will kick the client off the wireless network and capture the 4-way handshake when the client device re-authenticates to the network.

For a WPA attack to work it requires a connected client. The top part of the WPA Scan Terminal window shows the networks being found, and the lower part shows any connected client devices.

Two Terminal windows will open one showing the WEP enabled networks (no screen shot), and another showing the WPA enabled networks. Click OK when done.īack on the Fern home screen click the Scan for Access points button. One nice feature is to check the Enable XTerms option which will have Fern open up the Terminal windows during its usage to see what the program is doing in the background. You can set the channel option to scan a single channel or leave it at the default All Channels.

If your wireless interface does not show in the list hit the Refresh button and try again.īefore starting the scan double-click on any blank area of the Fern home screen to bring up the Access Point Scan Preferences screen. Select the Interface and Fern enables monitor mode. Or start Fern via the GUI using the Backtrack menuĪpplications/Backtrack/Exploitation Tools/Wireless Exploitation Tools/WLAN Exploitation/fern-wifi-cracker To start Fern from the Terminal type in the following commands #cd /pentest/wireless/fern-wifi-cracker On occasions I have had to bring the wireless adapter interface up using the following command. Plug in the USB wireless adapter (I’m using the Alfa AWUS036H 802.11b/g USB wireless adapter) and open the Terminal and run iwconfig to verify the USB adapter interface. For help on creating a secure WPA/WPA2 passphrase please read my earlier blog post. In real world situations a WPA/WPA2 passphrase should be completely random and not a common dictionary word.
#Best new wpa2 wordlist password#
The word password should never be used for a real password or passphrase and I’m using it here since I know the Fern program will quickly crack it. I’m using an old Cisco/Linksys 802.11g wireless router for this demo and all the settings are defaulted except the security settings, which I set to WPA Personal with a Shared Key passphrase of “password”. I have the fixes I discovered in another blog post for anyone else that may have these same problems. Originally I was using Fern in Kali and ran into some issues with my wireless adapter and with the program freezing or not opening after updating it.

Very simple to use… scary easy! Fern also provides some extra functionality for hijacking sessions and locating a computers geolocation via its Mac address, but I have not tested with these features.įor this demo I will be using Backtrack 5 r3 running in VMware Workstation on a Win 7 host. Fern basically takes the command line utilities to crack these networks and puts them in a GUI.

This demo is for wireless pentesting educational purposes and to emphasize the insecurities of using a weak or common dictionary word for wireless network authentication and encryption security key or passphrase.įern Wi-fi Cracker can crack WEP, WPA, and WPA2 secured wireless networks. Before attempting to use Fern or any other utility in Kali or Backtrack please make sure to read the help and MAN pages for a complete description of the program options and switches. I will be using the Fern WiFi Cracker open source wireless security tool included in the Kali Linux and Backtrack 5 r3 security distros. Note: For this demo I’m using a lab environment network that is not routed to the internet.
