Cracking Wifi WPA/WPA2 passwords using pyrit cowpatty– with cuda or calpp in Kali Linux

There are just too many guides on Cracking Wifi WPA/WPA2 passwords using different methods. Everyone has their own take on it. Personally, I think there’s no right or wrong way of pentesting a Wireless Access Point. Following way is my way and I found it extremely efficient and fast during my tests for Cracking Wifi WPA/WPA2 passwords using pyrit cowpatty in Kali Linux where I attacked with Dictionary using either cuda or calpp (cal++) and at the same time I used WiFite to fast track a few things. This whole process was used in Kali Linux and it took me less than 10 minutes to crack a Wifi WPA/WPA2 password using pyrit cowpatty WiFite combination using my laptop running a AMD ATI 7500HD Graphics card.

You can make the following process faster like I did. If you have an AMD ATI Graphics card you’ll have to follow these guides below:

1. Install AMD ATI proprietary fglrx driver
2. Install AMD APP SDK in Kali Linux?
3. Install Pyrit in Kali Linux?
4. Install CAL++ in Kali Linux

If you have a NVIDIA Graphics card you’ll have to follow these guides below

1. Install Nvidia Kernel Module Cuda and Pyrit

Capture handshake with WiFite

Why WiFite instead of other guides that uses Aircrack-ng? Because it’s faster and we don’t have to type in commands..

Type in the following command in your Kali Linux terminal:

wifite –wpa

You could also type in

wifite wpa2

If you want to see everything, (wep, wpa or wpa2, just type the following command. It doesn’t make any differences except few more minutes

wifite

Once you type in following is what you’ll see.
